JOOLZ in the news

Today's Democrat and Chronicle, Rochester's daily newspaper, features a Business Section article about the state of local retail shops and expectations for holiday sales. Debbie Alexander, a D&C business reporter, called this past week to get my read on the national economic situation and how we were relating to it locally. Upon reading the article, I was glad to see that my take was exactly like that of her business school expert: small, local retailers are doing OK, have a niche and will hold their own, focusing on superior customer service and unique products.
