Five Retailers for Falling Gas Prices [View article]
I have been in and out of JMBA, simply as a "low-priced" speculative play, but -- I confess -- at, abominably, much higher prices. Fortunately I lost very little. Even at that time I wondered about the proverbial "moat." I question whether Jamba has any kind of brand advantage (outside, perhaps, California).
I've also been in DKS profitably, but I have to say that shopping in their stores (I've been only in an Indianapolis and a Tampa store) has been a despicable experience. Signage and helpful employees are in notable absence. I've resigned myself to staying with The Sports Authority, which is only marginally better, and the experience has been a damper on new enthusiasn for the stock.
