[HLN13]

I swear we work at the same store.

My stores sales are like probably 75% food, no joke. Then like 10% essentials 5% AA and 10% Hardlines

 

[Anelmi]

Interesting... my store sales are mostly in apparel and home goods.

 

[IcePeasant]

Team sent me a picture of the store. Lines atrocious and H&H full as can be.

 

[Flow Warrior]

You guys sold out? We sold almost nothing. Christmas and food is where things were today.

With this being a visual adjacency set, how do we get replenishment? I have had no answer on how or if this is to be researched, SFQ'd , etc. The backroom items are not located (after today they are actually all gone.)

VM is A&A
Seriously, I think its normal, its just that it must be 'brand pure. '

 

[H2Owned]

Honestly I think we should more H&H online than in the store.... at 8am the orders were all H&H and Spus wouldn't stop either

 

[garbage]

We had no line at all for the H&H at my store. After store opening, we had probably about 5 people looking at it, then it just became a normal day.
I’m surprised some stores were so busy. My area, I never even once saw an advertisement for it.

I LOVE all the H&H stuff!!! Was so jealous ringing people’s stuff up all morning. Lots of “oh my god this is so cute” came out of my mouth. I would buy the entire line if I could

They’re having our VM do it also but they’re RARELY in Dec Home. Looks like I’ll be handling it myself.

You guys don't have the big goofy sign at the front of the store next to the iPhone x one?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

We did.

 

[Kompa]

Entitled Soccer Mons cleared us out

 

[squirrely]

I heard H&H, as a company, was selling 120% better than expected... Vs Victoria Beckham which was at like 30% on day one.

 

[PeasantTM]

Never heard of H&H until I was told of the launch during a huddle. I worked the morning of the launch, and we had around 50+ people waiting in line. It was crazy! The products we had out already were already gone and we were scrambling to fill in more product, flexing everywhere and anywhere. By the time it was around 3 or 4, we had one flat of products left with a few boxes. I'm sure we had a few more items laying around in the back, but our store did pretty well. By the time I clocked off, I still had no idea what H&H was, and I still don't!

I called it Hearth and Gaines today. My GSTL has never shunned me so hard.

Nope, we don’t even have an iPhone X sign at the front. The only iPhone X signs we have are back in electronics.
Attached is the photo I took of the line. I was able to drive past my store when I got off my other job at 7:15 am.

 

[TTGOz]

My store had a big Halloween Booporium sign up, that made me giggle.

What does this mean??

 

[Yetive]

Set it to the VA. No labels. Like Softlines tables, there won't be research. You can flex within the line, but no putting Threshold or Wondershop there to fill gaps like we do on trend runs.

 

[HRZone]

What does this mean??

Some stores vms rarely venture out of softlines

 

[phibot]

I never want to see anything Magnolia related ever again after this past weekend

Someone turned the TV in our breakroom today to Chip and Joanna. I wanted to scream.

Fixer upper is great background noise in a breakroom. The people at my store have been playing Maury and Jerry Springer a lot lately

 

[Rarejem]

So... does anyone know how replenishment occurs? Do we research?

Last year we had the TV on the Investigation Discovery channel. Hasn't been on since last year though... kind of sad. A James Bond movie marathon was on and everyone would be in the break room just watching it lol
