I assume the H-Zone people know about POS (Point of Sale) as an inventory control.

And they better know about how to limit their orders, not to triple keystone etc.

The problem with some retailers is that their buyers -i.e. those that purchase inventory – have no concept of marketing. And that is one of the reasons those businesses go belly-up.

A couple years ago there was a RainbowTique clearance sale at Windward Mall.
Aloha shirts and Women’s dress that retailed for $125 were on sale for $25.
The shocking thing was there was boxes up the ying yang and stacked to the roof.
The employee said the buyer “F’d up” and ordered too much.
I told the dude, it’s not the buyer’s fault, it’s the person who marked it up to 125 bucks.
I mean how many people do you know who buys $125 Aloha Shirts?

My initial apprehensions about the H-Zone store is that it is “government owned and operated”… which usually means expenses will exceed revenue in a downward spiral. BUT, there are some businesses that would be harder to screw up due to the relatively high margins and popularity in the products– and the H-Zone might be one.

Anyone who has played business simulations games–from the Lemonade Stand, SimCity and up, know that stock ties up money–and if it doesn’t sell well, that is $$$ sitting as clothing in storage and not available to pay the rent, employees, or help the AD bottom line.

So, the grand opening can display only items they can afford to stock today…and even the items in stock have or will soon be paid to the supplier. The rent is due at month end and the workers will be expect to be paid every 2 weeks. Initial sales are needed before additional stock can be added… when they say the other sports apparel will appear when their season approaches, it is a stock and cash flow problem of a startup business. I think.

Anyway, a little patience and many more items will appear if the store is profitable–or can survive it’s initial debts. I do not think the AD, Chancellor, or President will let it die easily, so expect to see great variety as the fall semester gets underway.

My guess, anyway…

Chawan_Cut’s home away from home is Guam.
I’m sure he must have seen the Spot while driving to work.

But he’s a good man and like Nemo’s friend Dory repeated, “Just keep driving, just keep driving, just keep driving, driving, driving. What do we do? We drive, drive…
