Retailing To-do: | edit | history | watch | purge Here are some tasks you can do: Copyedit: Target Corporation, Wal-Mart - to be used as an examples for ideal page structure Cleanup: T.J. Maxx reads like advert; see talk page discussion 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.

[edit] Fix

Can someone fix this article and add more info to it? Please! Please do not delete this article. Also lets add some pictures to it to, including the logo.

I've done some fixing up. Still kind of sparse on info, but I found as much as I could. By the way, please feel free to add ~~~~ after your posts on the talk page; this adds a signature. TenPoundHammer 20:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logo

Can someone add a picture of the logo on here?

As I said above, please feel free to add ~~~~ after your comment to add a "signature". It's good Wikipedia etiquette. I just e-mailed one of the webmasters of the Labelscar blog, which has a picture of a former Joseph Spiess store; that's the best I can do for now. TenPoundHammer 01:47, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Picture added. TenPoundHammer 23:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

I'm just curious, how was the "Spiess" part pronounced? Was it "Spice", "Spies", "speese" (rhymes with "wheeze"), or what? TenPoundHammer 23:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

The I is silent. It is pronounced spess

[edit] Rename?

Can we rename this Article to Joseph Spiess Company, as we are talking about a store, not a man.

That might work. TenPoundHammer 01:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
