INLINES ~ Calendar Club and Go! Toys & Games The Mall Climate Developer/Mall parameters and expectations are constantly evolving, putting more pressure on tenants; even temporary tenants to look and perform better than ever before. Coupled with increased rent, decreased kiosk location availability and tighter lease terms the focus on our Inline Stores is greater and therefore very important to our overall store portfolio. How your Inline store performs from build out to tear down is critical. This performance will not only be judged by revenue; overall store presentation, and merchandising, along with customer service provided is scrutinized more and more by the mall and developer personnel. Company Goals It s our goal to provide you with the tools, resources and products required to meet the expectations of the developers and the malls, which are aligned with our goals for build, overall store presentation, merchandising and customer service. What can you do? Be sensitive to and understand the Mall climate and align yourself with the company goals. Use the tools and resources available to you to their fullest extent and please keep the lines of communication open. If there is something that you don t understand or are not certain of, don t assume, please give us a call and we ll do our best to assist you. Page 1
