Also about 8 other locations that I wasn't told specifically which
ones. I believe he kind of took a look at the top performing stores in
the WWW operation and is trying to obtain the leases of those former
WWW stores.

You've got to be kidding me. Port Chester was one of the top performing
stores??? I used to go in there once in a while. As often as not, I'd
be the only customer in there. Sometimes there would be one or two
other customers. Hard to see how they made any money at all with that
kind of traffic.

There's no doubt Port Chester has the potential to be a good location.
Between Westchester (NY) and Fairfield (CT) counties, you're probably
looking at the two highest per-capita income counties in the US. The
store is 2 minutes off the interstate, and right next to a Home Depot
(which serves to attract people to the location, but doesn't really
compete for the same business). And for all that, the store was empty
most of the time.
