Kohl?s is now the darling of the limited-line and middle-market type of retail. They?re aggressive and certainly doing a lot in the Portland areas and looking into Eugene. If they?re looking at Eugene you can almost be assured they?re looking at Medford. |
Kohl?s is your main candidate. They?re expanding, have made deals in Eugene and have stores under construction in Gresham and Washington County. |
There is a lot of pent-up demand from companies that haven?t found a place to locate. That?s part of the evolution of how retail moves. People have ideas and concepts and retailing advances around those ideas. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don?t. |
Those middle-60 dollars will be spent probably at Target, Penney?s and Sears. They?re not competing with Meier & Frank, Chico?s or somebody like that. |
