typical persian

[shah269]

Well I'm new to being "persian"....long story of growing up with rednecks and having to unlearn how to be Persian....but a i understand it...don't Persian guys have a thing for "thick" XL chicks?

Look it may not be 100% pc to agree with him...but the guy has it figured out!

People who wear his clothing should feel like they’re tools.

Did Rocky Dennis just say that he only wants beautiful people in his company's clothes?

[shah269]

It’s an interesting sales pitch.
And well it looks like it’s doing well.
I’m kind of busy doing some work at work..but can anyone look up their market share and if its been growing or shrinking over the past 3-5 years?
I know every time I walk past the place in my local mall there appears to be a good number of people shopping there.
You may not like him, you may be just kissing some girls ass by not liking him….but if he is making his company money then well you can’t hate him.

Doesn't AA have the same sales pitch? They sell nothing larger than a size Large?
I think Express is the same.

They've been better. 2007 was a good year then they tanked at the end of 2008. Went back up in 2011, then down again in 2012. Doing alright now from what it looks like, but not 2007 numbers

LOLZ Rocky Dennis?? from Mask?

[shah269]

08/09 was the financial fall right?
so you can just assume 07/08 was a part of the overall failure of the system.
Just look at Guess? they also had the same fall on 07/08

AP had a big fall....didn't it....never really came back…but they are such a urban nich

On the flip side...note all those little dividends it's pumping out compared to its rivals.

Shame life isn’t like an MBA paper…that you can just click a few buttons and see overall market shares.

The guy may not be PC and he looks like Trumps cousin…but I think his sales pitch is right on.
A shirt is a shirt is a shirt…so what makes his shirt better than a shirt from Wally World?
The cute girls wear his shirt…the fatties rock Wally World….and no matter what we wish or preach or dream of…
Every fatty girl wants to be as popular and as skinny as the cute girl.

In a way he’s evil but mother of god he’s smart!

WOW...OK you may hate him.....or are being pressured to impress a girl and have to hate him but you can't hate what he does;

While Wall Street analysts and the companies’ many critics gleefully predict A&F’s impending demise every year or so, they have yet to be right. The company struggled some in the post-9/11 period, when, unlike other slumping retailers, it refused to offer discounts or promotions. But A&F’s earnings have nonetheless increased for 52 straight quarters, excluding a one-time charge in 2004. “To me it’s the most amazing record that exists in U.S. retailing, period,” says A.G. Edwards analyst Robert Buchanan.

[amanda hor$t]

you guys must not have been to france lately. the paris a&f is like a shrine, and a bunch of people there dress like they're from socal

[KingOfJericho]

I was in Rome last week and saw a surprisingly large amount of A&F. I was shocked... although it was probably mostly tourists from middle America. I don't see much around here anymore and this is the type of area that I believe that monster is targeting.

[MiddleAgedAl]

Amazing that someone who looks like him would have the balls to say that stuff. That's like Donald Trump saying he only wants people with really awesome hair to buy his products, and they intentionally dont hire customer facing staff with bad hair to ensure their target audience can relate to them.

That's the thing; ignoring any subjective issues about whether you'll eventually burn in hell for disparaging fatties, it's amazing to me that what he's doing isn't more financially harmful, for purely demographic reasons.

Watching TV shows might lead you to think every highschool senior could find work as a swimsuit model, but then go to a mall to see where the largest demographic really is (in all senses of the word large).

Given the growing obesity rates, I'd bet on revenue growth for a company that aims at the "full figured" market (ie: more than half the highschool, compared to aiming at the quarterback and his cheerleader girlfriend only).
