 “We think that Ollie’s is positioned well to benefit from trade-down and expect resilience from its core consumers looking to stretch their dollar.”

 “Retailers take on additional inventory risk and sink more capital into building and renting stores, but the upsides include potentially stronger margins, a closer connection to shoppers and more control over the brand... It’s an approach that works best when brands are culturally relevant first.”
