If you looevent the data from last year, from 2018, it says that black friday can account for to 7 of a retailers Quarterly Sales like American Eagle or best buy. For comparison,ay regular is worth about 1 . That means black friday is worth almost a entire week of sales for some retailers. So it does still really matter.

And as the retail lancape changes, many storesp shieft tr focus away from traditional opping. Some dont even have any inventory. Heres julia. Theres no question that amazon and t rise of online etail have transformed the way consumers shop. So now retailers, new and old, are shaking up the instore experience. Nordstrom local stores dont have any inventory, but theyre helping the retail giant grow sales, speed upreturns, and increase loyalty wit the ability to pick up online orders, consult with stylists and instore tail letters or gem aicure or rent a tuxedo. There are three of these nordstrom locations in los angeles and two in new york. For new yorkers, having a cation thats on theiray home from work right by eir train station, thats really convdient. Its h to get stuff delivered to a lot of places around here. Returns is another big opportunity wi. Know were going to take returns. Were in the clothing business. Order in stroms says customers who use nordstrom spend 2 1 2 times more. The you can get Services Done here, you can get here. Rapped and what it does is really speed up the process in terms of returning goods, which helps a lot with inventory. It aoen abl enables you to tap whole network of inventory. As weve seen with Nordstrom Stores like this one and wh brick and mortar locations for other wretailers,re seeing retailers take advantage of the fact thateal estate prices have dropped while the cost ofg acquirin consumers online has risen. This store epitomized whats called the clicks to bricks trend. The beauty brand which launched on insam in 201 now has about 2 1 2 million instagram followers. Has Permanent Stores in los angeled new york. And this year it hosted fivep retail experiences. The future of physical sres is quite different because theyre highly experiential. In that store and its really a point of contact and acquisition for the brand at large. Glossiers customer are free marketing. They tag glossiers more than 20,000 instagram posts eveha month and does not include instagram stories. And some of that content comes from phoens t at glossiers stores which the company says haal a effect driving more people to engage with the brand and shop.

For nightly business report, california. West hollywood, and now for what has become a black friday tradition for us heren nbr, ill return to charlie olshey to talk more about the Holiday Shopping and is who some of the winners and losers may be. Hes senior retail analyst at moodies. Ck welcome good to be here, mr. Griffeth, how are you . Good. U were among one of the most optimistic of the wall street analysts for this years shopping seasonorecasting growth of 4 , 4 1 2 this year. Very stng. Why . I jt think the big guys are going to nail it. I think thatn theyre better position now, but big i mean the walmarts, targets, costcos, amazons of the world. Theyre in the best positionn that ive shem in years. Theyve got the ability to spend, the strategies are spot on. Theyre adapting, theyre theyre evolving in this new environment. Amazon moving inventory close to the customer to take care of the last mile a little better than they have in the past. And the other guys just ramping up their online businesses and using the stores as weapons and offense and se. And thats something that we thought would happen and its really coming through in spades right now. But we all know that not all retailers are created eql. Th year, 2019, will see the greatest number of store closures in history. Are there retailers right now that youre watching carefully to see if this is going to be a make orreak seaso for them . And we put out and we keep an eye on oura and below list. The last time i looked at it i think there were 16 or 17 names on that list. You could almost hit any of them and beut concerned a where they are. I mean, some of the larger ones on the list that its not make or break but youve got penny there, j. Crew, newman, and they typically do fairly well during the holidays. They should be able to get to the other side. Then you have some of the smaller knit guys. The bifurcation is wider tn it ever been. Right. Its grand canyonque. Youve got, again, t guys i talked about at the top, and i would add the offprice guys and the Dollar Stores that to that x. And then youve got everybody else. S theres soong names in there, but for the most part compete with the other guys at o the top. And the other guys have the ability to promote, to offer free shipping, to expand their warehouses, to deal with fulfillment, keep the stores fresh. Thats a tough thing to fight. You called it a cwa list, wh is that . The cwa is the low of the end of oursc ratine and its, you know, companies that we thats in the vernacular of wall street, thats deep spec e speculative grade deep high yield, way down the fchd n. Got it. The Investment Grade starts a baa 3 and then theres bas below that. Were well into highyield territory. D. Very g charlie, ill let you get back to the mall. Thanks. Thanks, bill charlie olshey with moodys. And stillahead, working up an appetite. The biggest shopping days of the year, are they bnt for restau as well . Well find out. Todays black friday, tomorrow ismall business saturday. According to a new survey of cnbc and monkey, 39 of americans do plan to commemorate it by shopping at a momnd pop store. Thats down from a year ago. 22 have no plans to shop small. 37 arent sure at this point. 8 say theyre excited to shop at a small businessomorrow compared to 19 who are excited about black friday. And 12 who look forward cyber monday. Analysts do point out they expect record sales tomorrow and for the overall Holiday Shopping season, as you heard. But do shopping andating go hand in hand . After all, going to store after store can wor up an appetite. So we asked our kate rogers so see if restaurants benefit shopping days of the year. N wheople shop, they dont always stop to eat. The ndp group analyzed rueceipt from 130,000 customers nationde and found in 2018 the big traditional shopping days were not the highe restaurant vo me days. Fact, black friday was the 14th best restaurant day in the holiday period. Black friday is such a big ck day for the b and mortar shopping world tt its reasonable to assume that witht all o hustle a bus wiltle and people out shopping that theyll naturally pop into a drestaurant. Im certain that restaurants that are colocated in shopping malls or very close toig retail destinations probably have a pretty good day on friday. But its just not a big day for the Restaurant Industry as a whole. Tany of the top five bigg restaurant days of the season fall before thanksgiving. The holidays themselves tendbe lower for the sector. The worst restaurant day of the entire holiday period is christmas day. The second is thanksgiving day. And thats becse those holidays are all about preparing and eating meals at home. The vast majority of us are going to eat thanksgiving dinner either in our home or at someo elses home. And guess what happens theay after thanksgiving . Its leftovers time. When it comes to gifting, restaurant stand to benefit. Wt is the number o intangible or experientialat gi hey want to give some of its a food and beverage experience. The ndp gup sayst beverage and coffee retailers like starbucks and duncan will see foot trafficincruise because you need t coffeeo get all those deals.

Oil and gas blocks they produce more than 6,000 barrels ofil per day. Chevrons that been selling assets aroun the world to focus on the u. S. Base production growth. Shares were down to 117. 13. Time now for our weekly market eenitor. We have t stocks that he says will make good holiday stocking stuffers. He sees them growing double so. Atures over the next year or we welcome back ross gerber, the ceo and president f kawasaki. Thanks for joining us tonight. Good to see you. Always an honor to be on the show. We start with disney which has had a big year anyway, big gains at the box office and on wall street. But youtill think we see doubledigit gains next year as well. This is just the beginning for disney. Theyve shown that already that theyve been successful with launching disney plus. But as they continue with this bundle with hu and espn, we see them continuing to take ahu amount of the mind share and viewerweime of v through their streaming app. So theyre in a great but also at the end of star wars coming in december, this movie might be another one of the biggest movies ofll time. So between that and Merchandise Sales wit frozen 2, jve the Company Going into the next year. All right. Electronic arts, its had a tough year lasar, its been on the comeback trail this yeare overall games are starting to see a pickup again this year. Why do you like this one . We like it because for the nigh dominated last year and it and the valuations came down in stocks like ea. And c then theye out with apex legends which is a great game and doi very well. T also the release of star wars has been a really good game. Peove it. So we expec some upside with ea because really low expectations built into the company and some really great games coming out this christmaec so we e a lot of playing on the video game front this christmas. Mafinally, a cap. So there might somebody volatility here, a name not widely known, funkco, its a toy make her a tough couple months but you like this stock. Why . Thats why we love it, because t ay had secondary offering from their private equity owners that needed to cashout, you know, for private equity always has to do these things that dont make a lot of sense to appease the private equity shareholders. But by doing that they knock the stock down. Its trading at a ridiculously valuation because so dont look at small caps anymore and theyre not prominent in the big dexes. So, you know, here a stock like funco which makes these pop dolls that are super popular but they just opened their first retail store in hollywood and its doing amazingly well, amazing. So a lot of people dont know this compan its a gre toy company, growing likecrazy, and theyve had a really reasonable valuation and thats why we lik it. Ross gerber with gerber kawasaki.

Jane wells is in oakland, cafornia, for us tonight. Reporte you are looking at a gateway bug, an i secretary with so much potential to feed the planet it seems a nobrainer as a protein source. But would eou it . This one is our Peanut Butter and blueber much of the world eats insects from crickets to meal worms, scorpions, black ants, grasshoppers, but amecans s generall ewe. Thats really good. A growing group of entrepreneurs may p that bugs are the future. You get the same amount of protein from insects as you to from regular animals, you use so much less water and its good protein. Plus theres fiber because youre eating the whole thing. The chefs mission is to make ialects delicious and s me worthy to millennials with dishes like cricket quion hash. Even if americans were to corporate insects onc week, that would have ame tou affect on our environment. They have insect based dog food with salesn the millions growing 70 a year, the sustainability message appeals to millennls who may n eat the bugs themselves but have no problem giving it to their nedo. F the key reasons i got into this is my daughter, shes a millennial and shes said she might hot want toe children because shes worried about what the world is going to be like. Demand is currently outstripping supply. The largest cricket farm in north america is nea toronto. But montha ka martinez is raising her own bugs for her snack fd business i oakland. 80 of the is made out of insects. Doesnt make any sense that were not tapping into that.

Funny, attention turns to the holidays and putting up the christmas te which it turns out is getting more expensive to do.
