Comment on Looking closely at the savior of Zales by bill buckman

What he means is they closed 191 stores and they still don’t cover SG&A during the Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day period. Everyone who looked at the deal at the store level came to the same conclusion: Zale still has hundreds of stores with expensive leases in poorly performing regional malls that need to be shuttered. Regional malls are dieing teen hangouts and many have staggering vacancy rates.

How confident is management with their with their claim that they don’t need to close additional stores if they can’t provide and sales or earnings guidance?

Huh? The follwing paragragh is directly from the Zales website in the letter to investors that totally contradicts this article. What do you mean their have been no steps taken to restructure stores and leases?

“In real estate, we restructured our portfolio in order to rationalize the size and scale of our footprint. We announced the closure of 191 stores in the second half of fiscal 2009. Additionally, we partnered with our landlords to negotiate leasing arrangements more in line with our current level of business. We are confident the steps we have taken were necessary and will have a significant impact on our future financial performance. In addition to store closings, we believe we have adequately addressed the entire Bailey Banks & Biddle contingent liability at a significant discount from the potential remaining rent obligations.”

Your article is misleading investors. Also you refer to industry experts and observers. Can you give any names? not much credibility here.
