The Wholesale Leathercraft division continues to be affected more so than the Retail Leathercraft division. However, in analyzing the sales on a store by store basis, there are only a handful of stores in each division that are really struggling with significantly weak sales and in most cases, the cause is easily identifiable.
For example, in one store, one of its larger customers closed its doors recently. In another store, the timing of orders from a manufacturing customer is causing fluctuations in sales on a month by month basis.
"It looks like our leather sales are beginning to pick up, with the exception of a few stores. While we still have a lot of work to do to get our sales where we want them, I am cautiously optimistic that things are beginning to improve."
