I don't think this was a good idea since he was with the store in metraire since it opened ten years ago. The stock keeps going down wondering if the St Charles store will even open and will they have anyone who knows the city running it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00232377173004857294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001434439078518468.post-58557427213165387052008-05-10T22:40:00.000-04:002008-05-10T22:40:00.000-04:00Seems to me Mr. Jones was given the reins to a com...Seems to me Mr. Jones was given the reins to a company that was steered toward the precipice of a cliff well before he took over. It also seems the board has a great deal of trust he's still the right man to get it back on track. They specifically hired him because he's turned worse around before - as the "rescue hire" CEO of Rose's department stores when they got in trouble. Wait for it, this man may very well have found his niche... As well, it might behoove you to ask kbrown@bordersgroupinc.com to show her boss your list of grievances That way if uncorrected - you might actually have a legitimate case of holding Mr. Jones personally accountable. Or not..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001434439078518468.post-71371236563547356402008-04-12T20:49:00.000-04:002008-04-12T20:49:00.000-04:00I am always amazed when retail vendors don't do th...I am always amazed when retail vendors don't do the little things that make the difference between the customer giving the vendor his money and not doing so. But then again, Border's has been so far behind B&N for so long that I honestly can't say that I would notice if the entire chain disappeared.
