In FY2011 my store is one of the few in the Territory of 120+ stores that is showing a Comp sales increase for the year, (2%), and also one of the few stores that is exceeding plan for the year, (+6%). One of the areas I am already working on is changing the customer service culture in the store to a more customer centric approach whereby I am instilling into the entire organization that, "Our business is customer service, we just happen to sell clothes." Our customer service scores are already beginning to show improvement. Show less I have taken over an 85,000 square foot store loaded with opportunities for improvement.
