Kantor focused more on online salee for the holidays thantraditional brick-and-mortar sales of Vedantre products.
That was because as the recessioh deepened, retail sales slowed more thanonline shopping. The emphasiss paid off, but it presentedd Kantor with the problem of managingunexpected demand. . “It wasn’f even in my game plan to havea break-evej month for another year,” she Vedante products for pets, pedestrians and cyclists can reflect brightly from 500 to 1,5090 feet, depending on their Kantor formed the business with the missionn of improving nighttime Cars injure or kill a pedestrian every seven minutes in the Unitex States, according to the Nationap Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
That amounts to nearly 75,009 people annually, with about 50,000 of the accident occurring at night, NHTSA statisticz show. Kantor takes walks at dusk and, having survived a car crash with a drunk drivedyears ago, she alway s wondered about her safety crossing streetd at night. Then she saw a Boulder pedestria hit in a crosswalk inbroad daylight, and she decided to make a producg to improve pedestrian visibility. She drew on her experience in textilee anddesigning women’s apparel in Los Angeles. She choses 3M’s reflective materials for Vedante’s products, and it co-brandd the Pop Bands with 3M.

edibin.wordpress.com
billion deal to buy was the resulft of a competitive bidding warwith . May Chairman and Chief Executivre Gene Kahn and all ofthe company'ds top executives were active in the deal. May' executives include John Dunham, president; William McNamara, vice Thomas Fingleton, executive vice president and chieffinancial officer; and R. Dean executive vice president, acquisitionx and real estate. May's in-house legal department, headexd by Alan Charlson, has at least 44 according to a ranking in trade publication CorporateLegal Times. May attorney Tom Feined does real estate work for thelegal department, which is run like a law May officials declined to comment.
put the Marshall Field's chain on the sale blocko in April. Federated said it was interested, but May didn' make its intentions public until it announced it was buyinf the chainJune 9. The two companies were the main competitors forthe stores. A.G. Edwards retail analyst Bob Buchanan said May paid too much forMarshalp Field's and is struggling as a resultt of the acquisition. "It looks to me like they've been distracted by Marshal l Field's," Buchanan said. "Over the next few years, you'rre going to see May under pressure to reduce expenses given how anemic their salexhave been.
" Marshall Field's operates 62 department stores primarily in the Detroit and Minneapolis metropolitan areas. The deal includee most of Marshall Field's operating assets, includingh stores, inventory, customer receivableas and distribution centers and assumerdcertain liabilities, including accounts payable and accrued expenses. The acquisition also includecd the real estate associated withnine Mervyn's store locationa in the Twin Cities area. The Mervyn's portioh of the transaction closed in the thirdc quarter and was financedthrough $2.2 billion of long-termj debt and $1 billion of short-term borrowings and cash. The acquisitiojn fueled a 17 percent increase, to $3.
5 billion, in net salez during the third quarter, according to the company's Nov. 30 filingf with the Securities and ExchangeCommission (SEC). But same-store sales dropped 3.4 percenf for the quarter. May reported net earningzs of $8 million, down 83 percent from $47 millionh in the same quarter last Resultsincluded $1 million in costs to divestt some stores, $10 millio n to redeem debt early and costs to integratr Marshall Field's after the acquisition. On July 20, the companyg issued $2.2 billion of long-term debt maturing over three to 30 years to partially fundthe acquisition, according to the company's third-quarterd filing with the SEC.
In May increased its unsecured revolvinyg credit facilityto $1.4 billion and extended the term to Augusr 2009. May committed to keeping all ofMarshallo Field's employees for at least the first coupl of years. Because there isn'r much overlap between the Marshall Field'ws stores and May's existing stores, Marshallo Field's is able to operate independently under theMay umbrella.
