The company opened a location in Promenade mall and promoted an Asm from the Quail Springs store to run it. Promenade had carpet in the walk ways and smaller than Woodland Hills (visual difference) and a traffic count that was less than half of what Woodland had. My location did 2 million at the time and after Promenades first full year, Promenade did 700K. They never did more than that for however long they stayed open. Every store mgr that I knew of at a store in Woodland did higher than their Promenade counterparts (if had a store there) did almost double. The same is said for PSM and Quail- Penn does more- year after year. It was almost like if Quail does 1 million, Penn will do 2 (side note- Sooner Fashion usually was between both). This is just not one company I am referring to, but 3 that I worked for. Even ones I have not- look at Gap (full price only at Penn) closed Quail and Sooner since 2003, Abercrombie at Penn was the last one standing before they shut them down all in Oklahoma, etc.
Promenade, from the first time I went in, reminded me of an older, small town mall with one off stores, and was really low volume.
