 , outside of the original Charm Shoppes store, of
Charming Shoppes was the Fashion Bug stores which opened in the 1960's.
Considered pioneers of computerized inventory management and sales, Fashion Bug
stores were wildly popular and expanded quickly all the way through the
1990's.

In 2000 Charming Shoppes purchased Catherine's Stores Corporation in an effort to firmly plant themselves into the plus size women's clothing
market. They followed this quickly with the purchase of Lane Bryant in 2001,
adding the plus size powerhouse to its already successful Fashion Bug and
Catherine's dynasty. It quickly followed the Lane Bryant acquisition with the
launch of Pettite Sophisticate, a store catering to smaller size
women.

If we take a look at the company's financial performance based on their stock price, we see that in 1993 they split their stock, and immediately
afterwards saw a sharp decrease in stock price over the next three years
(adjusted for split price). That brings us to 1996, a year when the Charming
Shoppes successfully remade itself as a socially responsible company by helping
women and children in need, focusing on women's' health issues, and brining
attention to family and financial issues that women face. This program was
championed by then CEO Dorrit J. Bern, and marked an immediate, sharp rise in
stock price that lasted through the year.

Charming Shoppes stock price continued to fluctuate up and down over the next several years, but moved
generally in an upward trend. It was seemingly unaffected by the acquisition of
Catherine's and Lane Bryant, and was in a holding pattern through much of the
late 1990's and early 2000's.

In 2003 we see a sharp rise in the stock price that has continued through h2007 before seeing any decline whatsoever.
This can be directly tied to the opening of the Lane Bryant website to internet
sales, a move that brought an incredibly lucrative new revenue stream in for the
Charming Shoppes Corporation. Sales have declined in 2008, one can assume in
part due to the prevailing economic conditions in the country.

Compared to previous years, sales for the Charming Shoppes Corporation are down $265
million over the first two quarters. That's 20% of their total sales. Not
something to take lightly. Taken as separates, Lane Bryant is down $47 million,
Fashion Bug is down $69 million, and Catherine's is down $24 million. It's
possible that they'll make up the difference in the second two quarters of the
year, but historically they have had very few strong 3rd and 4th
quarters.

What does this mean for the plus size fashion industry? Not much, but the Lane Bryant sales figures are a good indicator that there is quite
a bit less demand for plus size clothes so far this year. One can assume this is
due in part to less disposable income due to the slowing economy and gas prices
since none of the other large fashion houses has seen a comparable rise in
sales.

Just about everybody in the USA loves watching Sunday football; it's the number 1 sport for that season. A favorite amongst fans that are fortunate
enough to become season ticket holders or those that buy tickets by themselves
may be the infamous tailgating parties that are held hours before the kickoff of
the game.

If you were to one of these simple tailgating parties, you know that the fans are crazy and do numerous things to exhibit their team support and
loyalty; from painting themselves the team colors to dressing as the team
mascot. There are more ways that tend to be more subtle however to show one?s
team spirit for example creating posters, wearing club shirts as well as giving
people tailgating koozies with the team logo on them.

You may be wondering 'what are tailgating koozies?' Well these are nifty little gadgets
have been around for some time, but many know them as other names for example
beer coolers, beer huggers or can coolers. They are constructed with a foam
product and shaped to suit your can of beer (or other canned beverage) inside.
It will keep the drink cool for up to 40 minutes and can even be used to keep
beverages warm. The beer hugger will also protect you from getting chilled when
you are not directly touching the can.

If you want to buy tailgating koozies you are able to search for them already made online at the league online
website; or you will find the option of having your own designed for a very
minimal price. Customization is comparatively simple and easy , there are many
options and varieties available. Koozies usually come in one color but can have
a different color ink screen printed in it.

Wouldn'bt other tailgater's and NFL team fanatic be delighted not to only have the ability to keep their
beer cool but also have yet another way to show their team support by having
tailgating koozies to show off. You might be able to sell the beer coolers and
take whatever money you earn and purchase more goodies to eat, drink or party
with in the game.
