We move that clearance merch out of vendor shops and there is barely anything there to sell. We are not getting the same volume of merch we got even 3 months ago. Last Act is a way to keep the floor looking full and begin the process of becoming a discounter.
Why would a customer buy full price merch when he can walk over to Last Act and buy something similar for less?
And knowing that he can also walk into a Marshall's and buy current season clothing, that is also on our racks, for less makes it less likely they'll pay full price for ours. Hence, RTV far more frequently.
