It has been a brutal period for the retail landlord, which operates in the market most dramatically wgy by the much hyped «retail apocalypse. Based on the stock action at Tanger, it looks like investors believe the REIT will have trouble surviving as consumers shift their buying habits. But giving up on Tanger could be a huge mistake right. Here’s mske. Tanger is a retail landlord, but it isn’t an owner of enclosed malls. That’s an important distinction, because the factory outlet properties it runs are inherently different. With an open structure, they are generally less expensive to operate. The generic nature of the space outlige it is easier and less costly to bring in new tenants when old ones leave. And there are no anchor tenants like department stores to worry. Most of its lessees occupy smaller spaces that are, again, easier to .
Here’s how much Americans love outlet shopping: «Factory stores» are now making their way from the side of interstate highways into good old-fashioned shopping malls. Clothing chain Express has converted three regular mall stores into «Express Factory Outlets» in the past year, with a fourth on the way. The transformed stores, operating alongside more typical mall fare like Macy’s, Auntie Anne’s, and Sephora, have seen business surge, and Express is in talks with other mall landlords for additional conversions. Consumers, it appears, aren’t surprised to see an outlet store away from an outlet mall, nor are they repelled by Express’ cheaper «made-for-outlet» merchandise. Lower prices on clothes have swept through malls, with J. Crew chief Mickey Drexler last week bemoaning the «rampant discounting» throughout the industry. Yesterday, J. Crew cut jobs, mainly at its headquarters, as part of a larger plan to trim costs amid a prolonged sales slump. For Express, the shift toward outlet stores is in part a response to industry-wide price cutting, but it’s also a clever way to drum up business in less desirable malls, where it’s otherwise been closing shop. It’s an experiment other retailers are undoubtedly watching.
Within the retail industry, malls are categorized as A, B, C, or D. More than U. Express is one of a few chains saddled with a particularly high number of C and D mall leases «that are really becoming irrelevant by the minute,» said Jessica Bornn, a senior analyst at retail research firm Merchant Forecast. The strategy is a clear indicator that outlets, one of the retail industry’s few bright spots since the recession, have evolved into a new beast. Once viewed as a place to score bargains on designer leftovers and clearance merchandise, they’ve increasingly become a place for chains to hawk an entirely separate, cheaper, lower-quality version of their brand. Under Armour, American Eagle, and Bebe have all said that most of their outlet merchandise is made specifically for outlet stores; companies aren’t required to disclose the difference, though some, like Gap, do voluntarily through markings on their labels. Express Factory Outlets only carry made-for-outlet merchandise based on best-sellers at regular stores from the previous year, executives say. The two channels are so distinct that Express sells clearance from its regular stores to a third-party instead of offloading it through outlets. Part of the outlet magic is cutting prices faster than cutting quality. Express says it can lower prices without sacrificing the end product through tweaks like opting for slower shipping and adjusting packaging. Broadly, Americans are hungry for labels at a discount, as evidenced by the success of outlets and the rapid rise of off-price chains like T.

Thread starter hhtt Start date Dec 5, I try to explain a situation in English but it is hard for me to guess correct words. Would you like to help me form it. The sentence which I would like to form is «Automotive industry is of which makes a lot of money.
Florentia52 Modwoman in the attic Wisconsin. I’m sorry, hhtt, but I don’t understand either your sentence or your explanation of it. Can you explain, using other words, a little more about what you are trying to say? Florentia52 said:. Trochfa Senior Member UK. I think you want to write: The automotive industry is one of those which makes a lot of money.
Automotive industry is one of the industries. Automotive industry obtains or helps to obtain a lot of money to whom in this industry. For example: Toyota makes a lot of money from automotive industry or Germany makes a lot of money from automotive industry. Trochfa said:. Yes, but is mine wrong? The last sentence here is understandable: «Germany makes a lot of money from the automotive industry. Are you simply trying to say that the automotive industry is lucrative?
Yes, it is wrong. You could say «The automotive industry is one of the industries which makes a lot of money. The automotive industry is one of which makes a lot of money. You could use: The automotive industry is one which makes a lot of money.
Hermione Golightly Senior Member London. Probably not. They would just think your English is awful. What do you think about replacing one of with the industry? The automotive industry is the industry which makes a lot of money?
Thank you. Maybe ‘an industry’, meaning one of. Can we find another phrase instead of «makes a lot of money»? That’s the phrase you used in your original post, hhtt. Why do you now want to change it? Or were you originally asking two questions? I see now that two different parts of your sentence were in bold. If so, please start a new thread to discuss the second phrase. Edinburgher Senior Member Scotland.
I remember that I learnt «is of» pattern from scientific books. Among metals, sodium is of the kind which is very reactive. Among metals, zinc is of the kind which has a hexaganol close-pack lattice structure. Among manufacturing industries, the automotive industry is of the kind that makes a lot of money for a lot of people.
Last edited: Dec 6, Edinburgher said:. It would be helpful if you could find an example from those books, so that we could explain why this context is different. The «of which» pattern just does not work here at all. Remember that «one of which» acts as a relative pronoun. You could say «The automotive industry is one which makes a lot of money», but we would probably be more likely to use «that» than «which». Last edited: Jan 11, Is this similar to what I mean: It is of second order because the highest ordered derivative is x».
Hermione Golightly said:. I can’t see that this construction lends itself to the expression of your idea about the automotive industry as outlined in the OP. You’ve had several excellent suggestions how to phrase that idea. No, it is not similar. In the engineering example, I presume «it» is an equation, and the author is saying that this equation is of second order.
This is another way of saying that this is a second-order equationor that this is an equation of second order. The construct «of nth order» functions as an adjective, in effect describing the type or kind of equation see srk’s post There are exactly the same three different way of saying the same thing by changing the position of » of». Is there a grammatical name or explanation for this situation? Or they are just members of world of writing and expression stills?
I’m very sorry to say I have no idea what you are talking. Myridon Senior Member Texas. You are now asking about a different construction from the OP.
Why not start a new thread asking about. Maybe you are ‘overthinking’. Myridon said:. The automotive industry is one which makes a lot of money. I’m afraid that makes no sense at all. First, an automobile is a car, and a car is not an industry, and secondly «of which» does not work. In your example, the second part has no subject. You must log in or register to reply .
