Guest Editorial: Sierra Trading Post – Friend or Foe?
In your recent article: "Prana works to protect specialty retailers when faced with overstocks," you set out to research a tip that the Burlington, Vt. T.J. Maxx Store had several two way racks of Prana shirts for sale. After confirming the tip you went on to white-wash the incident making T.J Maxx the hero of the story by recommending them as a "best solution" for specialty closeouts in that they are "outside the industry" as compared with Sierra Trading Post. The Marmaxx buyers love it when specialty insiders adopt their rhetoric and close their eyes. Do you really believe that TJX does not compete with specialty outdoor?
