Winter clothing sales/margins should be better than Summer.
HLG enjoyed a very strong first half,and I would expect the momemtum to continue,although retail is patchy at present.
W69 Our Westfield Riccarton LOV shop was only shut for a few days for remodelling.
Busy as,in fact they are so busy I can't get in the store to check it out.Now that's busy.!

I reckon market conditions getting tougher for likes of HLG shops and H2 might be a bit of a disappointment
But you have the saviour in Di - the miracle lady might pull the company through

Punters have a lot of faith in our Di to fix up Glassons and make huge profits seeing Hallensteins a bit sluggish at.the moment

Sales for the first seven weeks of the new season were up 5%....at a time when I struggle to recall more unusually wet conditions across much of N.Z.
Doesn't seem too bad to me. Good dividend hounds stock.

Hi percy,
didn't intend to stand on anyone's toes ... and have no heartblood in this issue ... I lost only a very minor amount in PPL and don't hold HGL.
However - I must admit that I was close to buying into HGL ... but the fact that Di returned to HGL stopped me. May have been a mistake, but still not sure why people expect miracles from her after the disaster in PPL?
Sure - PPL was probably already a basket case when she started, but then, why did she bite? It is hard for a senior executive to get out of these situations smelling like roses, and so far I am not sure whether Di is different.
Are you?

There is a Buffett saying that goes something like this;
When people with a good reputation join a business with a poor reputation,it is the business that retains its reputation.
HLG were very pleased to have her back.The results she has achieved, prove HLG were right.

Agree 100%. PPL were a basket case many years in the making. Results achieved by Di with Glassons speak for themselves.

SP has come back down to earth a bit. I have to admit I'm a bit concerned about all their sales at the moment. In the last two weeks I've been sent two 45% off everything vouchers, alongside a string of other offers like three tees for $30. I bought brown shoes for $55 dollars with the discount. They surely can't be making much margin on that when I usually spend $150 on shoes.
