Is business at AG reflecting the economic situation

Just curious if you guys think the state of the economy is hurting "luxury/vanity" places like AG. Or do you think we are all so over obsessed that we will buy what we need even if it means ramen noodles and white rice for the next few years.

Re: Is business at AG reflecting the economic situation

I don't know if its effecting AG, but man bars, restaurants etc are dead here, even for happy hour. Only time I see them busy is when they do their specials for colleges once or twice a week. Though I was at Duffys Sports Bar/Grill the other night and it was slamming, packed, but I've always found their chain to be packed, good food.

In my business, the luxury market is at a dead end as even high net worth people are tightening up. I have 6 clients whom we were trying to raise capital for, all with businesses and products in luxury/niched (basically anything that is considered a luxury item). No go, simply no capital and very very picky investors. And two of the clients we structured last year are already in profit the way we did it and quicker then expected, not even current investors are budging.

There's no food in my house but I have enough wax to last me at least 10 years.
