Solid retail outlet but I'm wary of the recent price climb. Jump in at your own peril.

Management seems to be willing to try different
strategies of retailing with emphasis on cost control
and customer consideration. In this bleak time for
clothing retailing sales are still enough to produce
a profit. The customer satisfaction level is high when
considering the results of the loyal customer program.
Any increase in sales has quick results on bottom line.
Of course every other retailer does these things in
their own way but numbers comparisons show cmrg
to be in the top tier in accross the board performance.

I used to shop at Casual Male because I had to. Now, even though I have lost a lot of weight, I shop there by choice. Merchandise is simply and attractively displayed, easily found, and sales clerks are helpful and pleasant. It is a low stress shopping experience. I am well aware that I am paying a slight premium for this shopping experience, but I do not mind. I think in the long long long term a trend towards preventative medecine in the US will work against CMRG's marketing mission, but in the short to medium term everyone from blue collar immigrants to white collar workaholics are going to keep eating too much junk food and get fat. If CMRG could ever really get its web business unwound, it could really grow fast. I like these guys.

All style no substance. Name change slick cover of business as usual. Competitors more on the ball.

Nothing Casual about Casual Male!!!!

Casual Male Retail Group is a specialty retailer of big and tall men's apparel with presence in US, Canada and UK. The company's operations consists of the Casual Male and Rochester businesses. Casual Male stores offer a selection of sportswear, dress clothing and footwear for the big and tall male customer at moderate prices whereas the Rochester business focuses on customers shopping at the high-end price point.

The company has about 8% market share in the $5.5 billion big and tall apparel market. Recently, they have come out with a rebranding initiative to expand their market share by introducing Casual Male XL to target the underpenetrated segment that constitutes 65% of their existing market. Rebranding has primarily contributed to the top line with almost 8% rise in the number of units sold.

Also, acquisition of Jared M. that caters primarily to the professional athletes will increase the Rochester business and start driving revenues by spring 2007. To expand their offerings the company has acquired ‘Super Size world’ that carries over 250 products catered to the needs of large people. Private label business is doing well with strong performance from ‘626 Blue Lifestyle’ and ‘Platinum Series’. They are also planning to re-launch their lifestyle brand ‘Synergy’ by next spring after receiving solid response in this year.

Launching of B and T factory in the future with price points about 25% less would help the company to target the lower income group. Company’s plan to increase the proportion of private label merchandise and will source almost 40% of this merchandise offerings to improve their gross margins in the coming year. Looking at the numerous initiatives, consistent positive same-store sales, this company should OUTPERFORM.
