Retailing To-do: | edit | history | watch | purge Here are some tasks you can do: Copyedit: Target Corporation, Wal-Mart - to be used as an examples for ideal page structure Cleanup: T.J. Maxx reads like advert; see talk page discussion Expand: Store manager, List of articles on project page, image gallery on project page, Hypermarket (history section), Category killer - This is very US/Canada centric - Ikea exists elsewhere, too. Stubs: Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, Archer Farms, ClearRx Other: Department store - discriminate between itself and Discount store. Category killer - If a Category Killer dominates its area, why are there many stores listed per category? There should be clear criteria for when a store is included, otherwise this just becomes an advertising page.

[edit] Contradiction?

This article seems to contradict the George Davies (retailer) article regarding the foundation of Next?!?! Can someone explain?

Hi, I replied in Talk:George Davies (retailer). --- Richard CHS^Talk 15:10, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move to Leicester?

Does anyone know why Next moved their HQ from Leeds to Leicester in 1986? --Wrh1973 22:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC) next moved for location purposes where situated now moterway links reach any part of the country central location —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.155.236.239 (talk) 23:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Lime Stores

In the article about Next and the new Lime stores which opened last month, it states that the clothing is refurbished previous seasons clothing. This is incorrect. Lime is a "no frills" clothing range sometimes using cloth from previos seasons main line ranges but never old seasons stock rehashed! Lime has it's own buyers and designers charged with tempting the sort of shopper from the likes of Primark and TK Maxx but with the service and quality of a mid-market retailer.

hi read it proeplty it dosent say that

[edit] Sales

Is there really a need to have this section - most stores have sales and I guess that most stores prepare in the same way. Also 9 hour shift is a standard day for most people!

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Next.gif

Image:Next.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
