There isn't going to be an Everyday line elsewhere. The Home Depot deal was inked because the largest source of income from the Kmart business was the outdoor category. This is an attempt to recapture those dollars. From a business perspective, this makes total sense. We'll see if this partnership is fluid (the Macy's partnership is riddled with discourse - the Macy's buyers are constantly trying to cheapen the product at the sake of their margin while the MSLO team continues to push to elevate the brand).
MSLO is going to continue to concentrate the balance of it's home business at Macy's. There was talk of doing home products at Costco but the food program was such a disaster (quality and production issues) that I doubt Costco would want to take further risks.
It's also interesting that the Crane's partnership has gotten very little buzz, advertising or in-store excitement.
Wow!! That's wonderful... I prefer to shop at Home Depot... Their products have great quality and modern look... They also provides money saving offers...
