How is the juniors business in general for HSS?
Over the last 12 months the junior’s business in general for HSS has had its ups and downs especially with the recession – but so has most business due to the recession. However, currently our industry and the junior’s market is headed in the right direction. The junior’s line for spring and summer of Billabong, Element, Hurley, O’Neill, Volcom and Roxy to name a few are looking really strong and spring is showing some good sales of certain styles and departments. Our industry is giving us good price point items to help the customers out during the recession and to compete with some of the cheaper retailers that don’t surf but try and sell surf.
