Pier 1 Imports
Strategy and research company Jeffries said Pier 1 was going to experience a “heavy investment year” in 2018 since it was going to handle its “sourcing, merchandising, pricing, marketing, store ops, e-com, and supply chain.” It saw a 9.2 percent decline in the net sales during 2018 Q1, which is equal to $371.9 million year over year. Not only did its credit rating go down, but Trump’s tariff against Chinese products made things even more difficult for the company.

Lands’ End
Land’s End has been hurt by its relationship with Sear’s, which went in a different direction back in 2013. While its catalog items sales remain strong, former CEO Federica Marchionni made certain mistakes. One such mistake happened with Canvas, a youthful brand that had been making attire in “designer styles to relaxed looks.” The brand failed to attract a lot of consumers, however. Ouch.
