-Wesley McDonald, CFO of Kohl’s, Q2 2016 earnings call

correlate to where customers are spending the greater
percent of their dollars.”
-MarvinR. Ellison, CEO and Director of JCPenney
“There's no doubt that the luxury market is the most
challenging market we participate in right now. And you've
seen that in the results of companies across the luxury
spectrum.”
