@7mg Not Going Forward. Store isn't on the F50 or N75 or NN75 or however many other lists are out there.
@bs what is NGF ?
Who buys that cr-p anymore? Overpriced junk.
Weird that BOTH fair oaks mall stores have Polo
Wow why are so many uniformed people commenting? Polo, like any other brand, has a volume threshold. If you do not hit that, it is pulled. Some other factors include how the store presents it, and theft.
@kn we are tracking you for this racist comment. We dont have a place in macys for racists colleaugues.
Our store can't make money on it . The amount of theft in Polo was outrageous. I don't mind it because since this company doesn't have the guts to stop the shoplifting why bother.
Ralph Lauren is old and so are his brands, stlyles and customers.
Some of the locations I service still have Polo in NJ. F50 store and 2 N75 stores for sure have it. Pricey merchandise and high theft target. I’m sure other stores have discontinued Polo
@w0 They also removed Polo from Macy’s Triangle Town Center too! I was in there not too long ago! Sad face!
Ralph Lauren decision. The RL Group wants to elevate the brand and create “exclusivity”.
If there are other stores in your trade area that has Polo and also have better sales and lower theft, they’ll remove Polo from your door.
The Carolinas got hit hard with this. Polo is no longer at the following locations:
Macy’s Friendly Center (Greensboro)
Macy’s SouthPark (Charlotte)
Macy’s Haywood (Greenville, SC)
@am Selling to TJX isn’t elevating.
Only go forward stores are having Polo. F50, N75, and NN75 stores will be getting Ralph Lauren for women.
@am Ralph Lauren is TJMAXX/Marshalls money maker now.
@OP Part of the reason is Ralph Lauren elevating their brand. Depending on the location, if there is a Ralph Lauren store or too many locations with the brand, it is removed from at least one door.
POLO = poor ghetto colored people
Gucci = poor ghetto colored people who sell dope
We had it along with
Tommy Hilfiger and we are so happy it’s gone! It was nothing but a draw for shoplifters!!!
POLO is what you wear if you are hood-rich.
They are pulling it out of your location because your store is not performing in sales. It's also likely that your store is a NGF door.
High theft merchandise. It all walked out the door in my store, and we got rid of it.
Since the product is made in the sweat shops of the far east, the tariff has ki-led it.
Ralph Lauren wants to elevate their image.
