I really enjoyed it, an amazing story
Selfridges been going for over a hundred years and still going strong with double digit growth last year. Not too bad for a ‘department store’. Just shows you look after the customers and give them a good experience year after year good retailers can win.
Yeah it is doing ok, cannot under estimate its location for its success thou.

Stats NZ Electronic Card Spend for October
Apparel sector down 4.5% on October last year
Things getting a bit slow in this sector? - even with Topshop sales and Clarke buying himself a suit.
Core retail up nearly 2%

But wait there's more.
To get the jolly things off I had to take off my socks.!!.
Even funnier was trying on a pair of long shorts,or were they short longs ,at Hallensteins, and making the mistake of looking at myself in the mirror.I think it was one of those circus mirrors.Could not stop laughing.!
Sweet Dreams RupertBear..lol.
