Kids Today, in an on-going effort to develop measures its retailers can use to assess their store’s operations, surveyed retailers representing more than 260 separate juvenile specialty stores during the summer. Nearly two-thirds of the responding retailers specialize in juvenile products; others are either full-line furniture retailers or furniture specialists. The majority, about two-thirds, generate under $1 million dollars in annual sales. Three-fifths are members of a buying group or franchise. Most retailers (75%) operate a single store; another 7% have two or three stores. The 2007 Kids Today juvenile specialty store operations summary report was conducted and analyzed by Research Specialist Judi Fulbright and Market Research Director Kay Anderson, with assistance from Database Coordinator Cynthia Myers and Research Assistant Patrice Rahming. 3 pages.
