Retail not always a bad sector to be in eh percy
Those that avoid it these days because of the gloom and doom miss the opportunities to make heaps following well run retailers who know what their customers want.
A few around eh ..like LOV

Unfortunately very few.
Most need more space,which means higher occupancy costs,rents,wages ,fittings etc.Halensteins, for example need stores two or three times the size of LOV's.Malls can always find space for a smallish high performer.LOV do not need highly trained staff.
When we compare LOV against the likes Smiths City, freighting lounge suites from China,fidges around the country, to LOV's logistics of airfreighting small items around the world we can see why LOV's stock turns,margins,and net profit is so good.The pay back of opening a new store is a matter of months compared, to years for SCY.Very easy opening new stores and closing poorly performing ones.
LOV's model is working in Aussie,NZ,South Africa,Asia,Middle East,UK,and Spain.If it works in these countries it will most probably work in most countries.
Very difficult trying to decide "fair value" with LOV as the growth potential remains huge.

Yes, well done percy! A great example of following up local knowledge/observation with further research, as per Peter Lynch!

Yes certainly learnt a great deal reading his books.
What was his example? kids buying their clothes from Gap,so they brought Gap shares.
ps And no W69 I do not wear earrings or anything else from LOV.In fact I can't get into their store to check it out, as it is always full of customers.!!

Think NIKE shoes and L'eggs (stockings) were another couple from memory.

Pep Boys and Pick 'n Save were two of them. I think that the latter has since departed to the great sharemarket in the sky. No, not the "cloud"!

Try not to feel too bad, Jt, you're not alone there! I'm another who perhaps let the "death of retail" story get too close to me. Console myelf a bit with keeping Briscoes and having bought into HLG.

Be aware of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
