Summary

Banana Republic president Sandra Stangl left the company earlier this week. The company has denied that its expansion into home furnishings was faltering. The move into home came as the entire category had slowed down. In announcing its most recent financial results, Banana Republic’s overall sales were down 2 percent.

Warren Shoulberg is the former editor in chief for several leading B2B publications. He has been cited by The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and other media. His Retail Watch columns offer deep industry insights on major markets and product categories.

This makes me really sad. The style was really cool and I've been slowly filling my home with pieces. Hope it's just a rumor.
