Retailers report weak September sales American shoppers went into hiding in September, sticking to buying the bare-bone essentials and leading many retailers to report dismal sales for the month as skittish consumers grappled with the financial meltdown spreading around the globe.   Nations:Mexico   Activities:2008 U.S. Recession   Source:(AP)   2008-10-08 Slow August sales signal more weakness in retail NEW YORK - When it came to buying their children new jeans and trendy tops, parents held the line: They focused on basics at discounters and waited for the best deals, resulting in weak August sales at many stores. That's a bad sign for the holiday season as families may be just as cautious with their gift-giving.   Nations:U.S.   Activities:2008 U.S. Recession   Source:(AP)   2008-09-04 Consumers change buying habits, but will it last? NEW YORK - Adrienne Radtke plans to keep riding her bike to work even if gas prices drop. Steve Pizzini got rid of his Cadillac Escalade in favor of a 16-year-old Acura and doesn't expect to have another gas-guzzler.   Nations:U.S.   Activities:2008 U.S. Recession 1929 Great Depression   Source:(AP)   2008-07-20 From bull semen to bras, Iran still buys American WASHINGTON - Nuclear weapons? No way. But there are plenty of items on Iran's shopping list the United States is more than happy to supply: cigarettes, brassieres, bull semen and more.   Nations:U.S. Canada Turkey Italy   People:Chevy Chase   Activities:Iran-U.S.   Source:(AP)   2008-07-08 Bigger Kids Want to Dress Cool, Too Merrill Guerra of Ypsilanti, Mich., used to despair when buying clothes for her overweight daughter Gabi, now 11. Older children's sizes that fit Gabi's torso would be too long in the pant legs and shirtsleeves, and the styles were often too sexy for a young girl. "When I talked to other girlfriends, I realized I was not alone in my frustrations," Guerra says. So she decided to form RealKidz, a plus-sized clothing company for girls ages 5 to 12. She started selling capris, leggings, and T-shirts online in May and plans to roll out a back-to-school line this August.   Nations:U.S.   Source:(BusinessWeek)   2008-06-20 Headlines Retailers report weak September sales 2008-10-08 Slow August sales signal more weakness in retail 2008-09-04 Consumers change buying habits, but will it last? 2008-07-20 From bull semen to bras, Iran still buys American 2008-07-08 Bigger Kids Want to Dress Cool, Too 2008-06-20 Fixer-up: New CEOs at troubled companies earn top pay in '07 2008-06-15 Abercrombie profit tops view; affirms outlook 2008-05-16 Teens turn to thrift as jobs vanish and prices rise 2008-04-17 Retailers turn in dreary March sales 2008-04-10 Retail retrenchment hurts malls 2008-03-10 U.S. retail sales mixed, lower-priced stores up 2008-03-06 U.S. consumers shopping for price, value -survey 2008-03-04 Rising factory costs erode China's edge 2008-02-22 Stores post disappointing January sales 2008-02-07 Many chains expected to post softer Dec. sales 2008-01-08 Retailers see slower holiday growth: reports 2007-12-16 U.S. retailers buoyed by strong holiday start 2007-11-25 Retailers report sluggish October sales 2007-11-08 Retailers report sluggish October sales 2007-11-08 Gap vows action after child labor report 2007-10-28 Retailers report slow September sales 2007-10-11 Gap: laptop with 800,000 job seekers' data stolen 2007-09-28 More signs of rattled U.S. consumers? 2007-09-25 Stocks end higher on solid economic data 2007-08-24 Europe's largest clothing retailer looks to expand in China 2007-08-19 Istithmar to buy Barneys 2007-08-09 Retailers report sluggish July sales 2007-08-09 Dubai matches Fast Retailing's $900 mln Barneys bid 2007-08-05 Wal-Mart to cut prices on 16,000 items 2007-07-23 U.S. teen retailers seek edge for back-to-school 2007-07-20 Jones Apparel near $950 mln Barneys deal: report 2007-06-13 Retail sales warm up but don't sizzle 2007-06-07 AnnTaylor profit falls on weakness at LOFT 2007-05-24 Limited to sell most of Express brand 2007-05-15 Study shows online apparel sales growing 2007-05-14 Retailers post weak April sales 2007-05-10 Disney to offer gowns for Princess brides 2007-04-16 Versace's daughter battling anorexia 2007-03-27 Weather or styles?
