Omro nursing home collecting Packers apparel for residents - WBAY

OMRO, Wis. (WBAY) – A Green Bay Packers fan and nurse in Omro took to social media hoping to help residents of a nursing home at which she works.

She's asking for Packers apparel donations so the people who stay at Omro Care Center can have fun and be included in the team spirit.

"My daughters and I, they love to shop, so they came with me, we basically bought out the thrift stores of anything packer that they had," said Benson.

Benson has worked at Omro Care Center for 19 years now.

"The other Thursday morning before the game, I was in the dining room and I just kind of joked around with them said, 'I need to see a little more team spirit here, where's the Packers shirts and Packers outfits'," said Benson.

One man then spoke up saying he'd love to but doesn't have any green and gold to sport.

"Then I started thinking about something I could do to help with that and I made a post on Facebook just asking if anybody had extra shirts or anything," said Benson.

Unexpectedly, her Facebook post took off, with the community asking how they can help.

"For me I think it's just quality of life, they don't get a chance to really go out and do as much as they used to maybe family is not around, we become their family, and we want to make sure that they're having a good time," said Eric Lehocky, Administrator at Omro Care Center.

Benson said it means a lot to the folks she helps. Some of them don't have a whole lot of clothes to choose from and giving them something to be excited about, she said, is an added bonus.

"It just shows you what just a little post can do and how far it can go, and if we get enough shirts I'll give our sister facilities, I'll give some to them," said Benson.

Dell was the most active practitioner of customization at one point of time; however, they put an end on mass customization by stating that the model had too expensive and complex to continue.

American Eagle Shares Slump After Sluggish Sales Renew Apparel Pessimism | News & Analysis | BoF - The Business of Fashion

Posted: 04 Sep 2019 09:11 AM PDT

PITTSBURGH, United States — American Eagle Outfitters Inc. fell the most in more than two years after posting worse-than-expected same-store sales for the second quarter, signalling even its investments in denim and lingerie can't fend off a wider malaise in the struggling apparel sector.

Same-store sales, a crucial metric in retail, rose 2 percent company-wide in the retailer's most recent quarter, missing estimates from analysts, according to Consensus Metrix.

Key Insights

American Eagle becomes the latest US apparel retailer reporting a challenging quarter. "We were disappointed to report operating results below our expectations," Chief Executive Jay Schottenstein said in a statement. He blamed the quarter's results on underperformance in some seasonal categories and a delayed start to the back-to-school season.

On paper, performance was lifted by license royalties from a third-party operator in Japan. "Without the royalty income, there is no denying that AEO's underlying performance has deteriorated," said Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail.

Still, there were some bright spots. Aerie, the company's booming lingerie and swimwear line, continued to post double-digit same-store sales growth. Comparable sales at the popular unit grew 16 percent, largely offsetting the 1 percent decline in the retailer's namesake brand.

The retailer, which only gives guidance one quarter into the future, said it's already getting better out there — sales started to tick up at the start of the third quarter. It said it anticipates this quarter's same-store sales will increase in the low-to-mid single digits.

Market Reaction

The shares fell as much as 14 percent in New York, the biggest intraday slide since May 2017. They had declined 16 percent this year through Tuesday's close.
