GlobeSt.com: What do you expect to accomplishduring your store-opening breather?

Whitney: One of the things that we decided to dovery early on before we opened our first store was to open 50 to 60locations. This breather has been planned from day one before weeven had a store opened. There has been a lot of attention outthere that this was a red flag and we were stopping to reevaluate.That's not the case. The reason we did it when we made the decisionto come to the US, we spent a lot of time researching on the frontend so that we could come up with a concept that was custom-builtfor the US market. In doing that, all of the information andresearch that has been done was done in a way that was customerdriven. This breather was built in so that we could take thatthree-month window to reevaluate and through exit surveys we'vebeen doing since day one figure out what customers like and whatthey would like to see different. That's what this window has beenbuilt in for.
