RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:DéfinetlyMany investors don't realize it but Reitmans is very very special.
All the pieces are in place for the new CEO.
1) Economy: As we saw from latest Aritzia quarter Canadian consumers are pulling back and trading down a bit.
2) High interest rates: Reitmans has no debt and a lot of cash.
3) Tagless RFID is a thing. This is an end to end solution. Imagine a labour shortage. Its the holiday season and a new employee was asked to prepare an online ship from store order. Can't find that size on rack. Is the item in a box at back of store that hasn't been unpacked yet? Was it stolen?
4) Brands. Customers know and love the brands.
5) Plus size. PENN stores done properly could easily be a $500M business.
