According to news reports Macy’s and Tommy Hilfiger announced a deal where Macy’s will be the exclusive retailer …
Retailer Macy’s Inc (M.N) said on Friday it signed an accord with Tommy Hilfiger USA Inc to be the exclusive U.S. department store retailer of the design company’s men’s and women’s sportswear, starting in fall 2008.
Under the pact, Macy’s will expand Hilfiger offerings in its stores and on its Web site, and work with Hilfiger on new ventures and brand extensions, the two companies said in a statement.
Tommy Hilfiger will continue to operate its own free-standing stores and sell goods online at tommy.com, the companies added. Products distributed through Hilfiger’s licensees will still be sold on a nonexclusive basis.
It’s been a few years since I’ve been in school and taken a business class but how is it an exclusive deal if Tommy still gets to operate his own stores or run an ecommerce website where he sells stuff? I guess it’s kind of like when your new BF wants to be exclusive with you but several times a day gets too … umm … nevermind … lets not go there …
I guess I should consider myself lucky they aren’t trying to reprise his awful reality show The Cut to fill in some programming weak spots this season.
