Retailing To-do: | edit | history | watch | purge  Here are some tasks you can do: Requests: WikiProject Retailing userbox Copyedit: Target Corporation, Wal-Mart - to be used as an examples for ideal page structure Cleanup: Listings of store locations Expand: Store manager, List of articles on project page, image gallery on project page, Hypermarket (history section), Category killer - This is very US/Canada centric - Ikea exists elsewhere, too. Stubs: Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, Archer Farms, ClearRx Other: Department store - discriminate between itself and Discount store. Category killer - If a Category Killer dominates its area, why are there many stores listed per category? There should be clear criteria for when a store is included, otherwise this just becomes an advertising page.

There was no information on Barneys or their parent company, Jones Apparel Group's web site that indicated the closure of the Americana Manhasset store in February of 2007. There were also no indications in either Barneys, Jones or Taubman's ( The Mall at Oyster Bay's developer) press releases that indicated that Barneys New York would open a store at the new mall. Oyster Bay will be anchored by Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom. This information regarding the store closure and its relocation to Oyster Bay has been removed from the article.

No mention was made of Barney's original identity as a low-priced men's and boys' clothing outlet. The high-end fashion business began in the 1980s.Alloco1 07:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Store Locations Categories (regional stores?)

The Barney's website lists only Flagship and CO-OP locations, with no mention of a Regional category. I have updated the page to reflect their categorization. 216.231.51.170 19:50, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
