PPM has made plans to open some TJ Hughes stores each year, as well as work on a possible stock market flotation in the future. To read the full description, subscribe now.

Competitive Landscape for TJ Hughes
Demographics and small business growth drive demand, and spending in warehouse clubs generally resists economic cycles. The profitability of individual companies depends on high volume sales, low-cost purchasing, and efficient distribution. Large chains dominate the market due to advantages in purchasing, distribution, and finance. Average annual revenue per employee is about $304,000. Warehouse clubs have grown rapidly. Industry sales increased at an annual average rate of 35 percent between 1998 and 2008, compared to 16 percent for all general merchandise stores. The number of warehouse club stores more than doubled between 1998 and 2008, with expansion coming at the expense of grocery stores and department stores. Warehouse clubs differ from superstores by requiring a membership to shop. Superstores typically offer a wide range of products, while warehouse clubs offer a limited selection. Both types of retailers sell products across many categories including food, and both compete with grocery stores, mass merchandisers, department stores, drugstores, specialty retailers, and wholesalers. Some retailers, such as Wal-Mart, operate warehouse and superstores as well as traditional discount stores. To read the full description, subscribe now.Top TJ Hughes Competitors
