Can a name say all that NEW LOOK FOR MERCHANDISING n Tuesday, June 11, Stan Brenner " announced a new organizational sf ucture for Merchandising. Addressing the Executive Committee, Stan described the new organization, whose major feature is the dividing of Merchandising into three rather than two main divisions. This will be accomplished by taking homerelated buying categories out of Hardlines and creating a new buying division, Home. A second important part of the plan is to consolidate warehouse and distribution for all kinds of merchandise (apparel, jewelry, major appliances, audio/electronics and general merchandise), previously handled by their respective merchandising organizations. Warehousing and Distribution will report to Wes Wright, Vice President and Director, Administration. Hardlines will be headed up by Bob Roell, who joined the Company in June, as Vice President, General Merchandise Manager. Before starting with GEMCO, Bob was 16 years with Venture Stores in St. Ann, Missouri, the last three years of BOB ROELL which he was Vp, DMM in their Hardlines Smallwares group. Venture, a discount department store, is owned by May Department Stores Company and operates 60 stores in seven states. Reporting to Bob will be Dave Morehead, Divisional Merchandise Manager (DMM), Patio, Sporting Goods, Toys and Trim; John Macaluso, Vice President and DMM, Stationery/Notions, HBA, Hardware and Automotive; and Dorothy Magette, Sr. Buyer, Cosmetics. C============-·II--.:----'-'--r--"Jim JULY, 1985 Hyman, also new to GEMCO, is Vice President and General Merchandise Man- ager, Home, which includes Audio/ Electronics (Joe Naughton, DMM); Domestics (John Schaefer, DMM); Major Appliances (Jim Stuber, Vice President and DMM); and JIM HYMAN Housewares (Gary Ojendyk, DMM). Jim begins his association with GEMCO following a 23-year career with Bradlees, a 134-unit discount store chain based in Braintree, Massachusetts. Jim's most recent responsibilities with Bradlees were as VP, GMM of Home and Men's and Boy's. CONTINUED, PAGE 6 WELCOME Welcome to the first edition of the GEMCO newsletter. This will be the first of a series of newsletters, to be published bi-monthly, for now at least. Later on, if practical, we may go to a monthly publication schedule. Each issue of the newsletter will be planned by an editorial review board, composed of a cross-section of interested employees (from different geographical areas, in different types of jobs, and at different levels). In the newsletter, we're planning to talk about what's happening in the Company and industry, discuss issues of interest to you as an employee, as well as include personal items for you and your family. We will also acknowledge the contributions of outstanding employees and help you get to know new names and faces. Just so we'll know we're on the right track, though, we'd like to hear from you. Your suggestions will help make the newsletter all that it can be. A letter from DAVE DORMAN. •• ear Fellow Employees, This first issue of the Gemco Employee Newsletter represents a very important step for our Company. The newsletter itself is one part of an overall Gemco employee communication program. I'm excited about the opportunity to improve our Company through improved two-way communication. Gemco, over the last twenty-five years, has emphasized a basic value of concern for people ... both employees and customers. This basic value, over the years, has been communicated informally through our actions as well as our conversations. We have all heard at one time or another the phrase that Gemco is a "people company." As we have grown, though, there comes a time to develop more formal programs which are designed to achieve the same result as the informal emphasis. This Newsletter and the related employee communication programs represent just such a step. But the basic philosophy remains unchanged. In Gemco, we've experienced major changes during the last few years. Change in an organization as large as ours is never easy. We are very fortunate, though, to have a core group of dedicated, talented employees at many levels in Gemco. We are now in the process of rebuilding and repositioning this Company for the future. The rebuilding is done on a very strong base and is specifically designed to emphasize the key strengths of Gemco. Key Gemco strengths include selection, price, one-stop shopping, and friendly service in a membership store. Our goal is to rebuild and strengthen these key differentiating characteristics of Gemco. Summer is hei and Gemco is looking forward to a r cord-setting sales season. Unfortu ately, with increased sales, there is so increased shoplifting activity. Here are som lifting: 1 2 Give frie~y, alert service to your cus• tomers a all times; greet each customer pr ptly. Even if b sy, let other customers know • that you see them. Nod and state pleasan Iy, "I'll be with you in a moment.' 3 4. If you SUject a customer IS tempted to • pilfer, wa h him openly, carefully and courteo sly Being watched discourage most shoplifters. Keep aisl s clear. S 6 Keep dis~lays as complete as possi• ble; thi~1 makes it easier to spot shoplifte Whenev r possible, check dressing • rooms of n for clothing left by customers. Che k customers as they enter and leav dressing rooms. In order to reach this goal, we need people throughout the Company to be informed and involved. We have the responsibility to put together sensible programs designed to deliver to our members exactly what we promise. It all begins with the merchandising plan, and it ends with the completion of the sales at the register. At each step along the way, whether we are buyers, merchandisers, warehousemen, stock crew people, sales clerks or managers, we each playa part in serving the Gemco member. If we simply put ourselves in that member's shoes and think of how we like to be treated in a retail store, we will be well on our way toward providing that very simple but elusive thing called "quality member service." 7 8 Ours is a people business. It makes good business sense to pay attention to our own employees and to our members. In addition to this newsletter, we will begin in the near future an employee suggestion program and a program of employee smallgroup meetings. Both of these programs are designed to encourage listening throughout our organization. Neither, though, is a substitute for honest and direct communication between our co-workers, subordinates and supervisors on a daily basis. 9 10 11 Keep em • atalltim Check the orde • and con mercha the cust mercha Never tu • you can ty hangers off display racks rchandise as you ring up .

So, bership fare in this allours? Does it have a fut elevision, open a GEMCO these GEMCO's new ary store look, a tising with more /native approach I how will memew Company of re? "Yes!" says Paul Hitzelb] rger, Vice President, Marketing, "In fac I now more than ever." When GEMCO opene in 1959, a single 50,000 square foot sto ~ in Anaheim, it was as a membership sire. Membership was still a highly experim I ntal approach to retailing and the indus ry watched with great interest as co jpanies tried it, faltered, and failed. I GEMCO, of course, di, well and grew steadily, opening memb I rship store after membership store. I By 1980, we were t e largest membership store in the wo Id. That year we 10. Price Club 20 $ 1,225,000,000 topped the 5 million mark in total membership and sold about $1.7 billion worth of everyday low-priced merchandise to our members. In 1984, our membership reached a whopping 10 million plus and our sales were $2.3 billion. Says Hitzelberger, "Membership has always served us well. Unfortunately, we've let the program go to sleep over the past few years. An important part of my strategy is to wake it up again, get everybody-employees and membersexcited about membership and make sure that membership really does have value." His plan is three-fold. First, to firmly link the name, GEMCO, to the word, Membership (or as Stan Brenner puts it, "We're a membership store and we're going to start bragging about it!"). Second, to point out the specific benefits of membership to the public, such as: • Everyday low pricing • One stop shopping • High quality and personalized service 3 :V2C) PROFIT---------'''-<:: • • • • • • • • • • by GEMCO employees Personalized mailings Free check cashing Free layaways with liberal terms Free Extended Protection Plan on major appliances Extended credit terms and, in some cases, instant credit Choice at available colors tor major appliances at no charge Gitt certificates No-hassle return policy Rainchecks tor out-at-stock advertised items Cart-to-car service Third, and most important, to make sure that we actually render these benefits so that the member's shopping experience will be a unique and pleasant one. But what about Phoenix? We dropped membership in our four Phoenix stores CONTINUED, PAGE 6 GEMCO'S NEW PRESIDENT SPEAKS OUT AN INTERVIEW WITH STAN BENNER In March of this ~ear, Stan Brenner joined Gemco as its President, bringing with him more than three decades of retailing experience. graduate of Ohio University, Mr. Brenner began his retailing career in the executive training program of Ohrbach's in New York' ity. Two years later, he joined May Department Stores where he spent 14 years in various buying and general management capacities. In 1963, he joined Wisconsinbased H.C. Prange Co., eventually serving as Executive Vice Prestdent-of Merchandising and Sales Promotion, and President of Prangeway Discount Stores. We recently talked with Mr. B~enner about his thoughts on Gemco-its pe'~ple,imd its direction in the retail marketplac~l 'l From the President's chair, how do you view Gemco at present? Gemco is well and healthy. I like to think of our company as having had a slight cold for the last couple of years and we've had to cure that cold. Gemco is vigorous and will remain so. Some of the things that have happened over the past few years may have been a result of our not keeping our eye on the ball. That is changing rapidly. My primary responsibility as President will be to help prepare us for the end of this decade and the beginning of the 1990's. Naturally that will require some changes. What are some of these changes? First, we're beginning a move toward a more marketing oriented business-more merchandise-driven. We'll also be putting more emphasis on consumer needs and wants. To do this, we'll have to do some restructuring of our organization to support the new merchandising thrust. We'll be moving toward a more traditional organization-along the discount department store lines. How will this be accomplished? There will be limited number of Changes in buying practices and job responsibilities. We will create two general hard lines areas-one to concentrate on the lifestyle type of merchandise. such as domestics, housewares and electronics, and one to concentrate on the commodity goods such as HBA, hardware and sporting goods. We'll also concentrate on having stores that visually present our customers with an image that projects new merchandising directions and philosophy. Beginning in August, we'll be launching a brand new and exciting sales promotion approach-the way we look, our pricing, as well as our store content. We're also going to start managing our business through planning. That means our buyers and operations people will have better tools on which to base their decisions. Both Lucky M IS and Gemco M IS are working feverishly to put together a crash program to get us quickly into more of a retail accounting mode, too. How will Gemco customers these changes? react to Very positively we think. As an example, in the first two months of operation in the new prototype stores, performance is running about ten percent ahead of expectations. I think it's because we've started doing what the ~ustomer wants in a retail store. We have C1Jtremendousopportunity with our customer base. We feel that the membership concept is a viable one and we intend to make it even more worthwhile for our ustomers than it is at present. What kind of impact will the new prototype stres have on other stores in the ~eain? I believe we havel to have the right stage to put the right products on. But it doesn't mean tearing d~wn and rebuilding. We have some sevehty other stores that are doing well. We j~st want to put them into the mold of the 1!990'sand get them out of the '60s. So we'lil adapt some of the merchandising ideas we use in our prototype stores. Two to foyr stores will be retrofitted projecting our ~ew merchandising and image this fall. We have the full backing of Lucky to intenSif;1 this renovating in 1986. How will all of is affect the indiv!dual Gemco em loyee? I'm a great believfr in the adage that nothing succeeds liky success. And that can work for all of u~ But what we intend to accomplish will equire a team effort. I don't believe in he one-man show and never will. Inste d, I sincerely feel that everyone in the c mpany, from the newest checker to the 10 gest-time employee, will derive more plea' ure from his or her work, have more sense of accomplishment, and go home each ay feeling a little better than they did th day before. That's what I'd like for myself nd everyone who works with me. "Gemco is well and healthy. I like to think of our company as having had a cold fo I the last couple of years ... we're moving toward a more marketing oriented business, more merch ndise driven and putting more emphasis on consumer needs and wants." l 4 I KEEPING UP WITH TODAY'S CONSUMERS J GEMCp'S NEW LOGO By Paul Hitzelbeter, V.P., Marketing WRIGHT APPOINTED VICE PRESIDENT, ADMINISTRATION ,..y now, most of ypu have noticed GEMCO's bold, new logo. Our print and ", television advertising, as well as our new prototype stores include the new design. I Gemco is changing, improving, keeping pace with our customers' changing tastes; and this new logo signals that flexibility with a bright splash of color on a solid, more contemporary base. The gold "V" symbolizes our gold value program, with emphasis on our asseltion that Gemco and value are one and the same. In our advertising, the new Gemco logo will include a tag line "The Members' Department Store and ISupermarket." In Phoenix the tag line will read; "The Department Store and Supermarket ... all in one." Our tag line reinforces our competitive advantage and our one-stop shopping environment. The new Gemco loqo is the forerunner of many new exciting programs that Gemco will be executing in th~ coming months. Gemco members can look forward to new advertising, new store layouts, and exciting new merchandise. The new Gemco logo will help to remind dur members that Gemco is their department store and supermarket. GEMCO .. · .·. I n June 10, Wesley Wright was hired A'm~~st:~~~n,P;:;I~C~~~ ~~~n D6~~~~~: who recently has been appointed to VP Controller, Southern Food Division. Wes comes to us from Deloitte, Haskins and Sells (Chicago office) where, as a retail consulting manager for The Big Eight accounting firm, he consulted in the areas of long-range planning, warehousing and distribution, merchandise reporting systems, financial planning and controls, and internal controls. Prior to Deloitte, Haskins and Sells, Wes was with such majors as Carter Hawley Hale, where he was Executive Vice President of Contempo Casuals Division; and Foxmoor Division of Melville Corporation. His pre-GEMCO experience encompasses about 18 years in retail in both consulting and top financial and operations assignments. 1960 Wes' distribution expertise will be put to good use with GEMCO; over the next few months, the warehouse and distribution functions for the Company will be taken out of thei r respective merchandising areas and consolidated under Wes' direction. He will also assume responsibility for the Central Services areas. 1965 Born and raised in Mississippi, Wes graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a B.S. degree in Accounting. Active in education and other civic affairs, Wes and his wife, Patricia, have two children, ages 10 and 12. GEMCO 1978 The challenges facing Wes in his new job are hefty ones for he takes the leadership of Accounting, Data Processing (and, now, Warehousing and Distribution and Central Services) during a time of exciting change and growth. "I see tremendous opportunity here," he states with confidence, "for both the Company and for all the individuals who help manage this growth. These are exciting times relating to the advancement of GEMCO. I look forward to working with a very capable team of associates." 1985 5 MERCHANDISING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) HOME SAFETY TIPS FROM YOUR LOSS PREVENTION DEPARTMENT ON TELEPHONE SAFETY ... e are so used to the telephone and so accustomed to answering questions that it's time we stopped and thought about the safe use of the telephone. Most calls are legitimate but be aware that the telephone is an excellent anonymous way to gather information about you. Here are telephone safety tips: • When you answer the phone, don't give your name and number. The person calling may have gotten you by mistake. Instead, take charge of the conversation and ask "Who do you wish to speak to?" or "What number are you calling?" • Beware of the question on the telephone. The disguise of selling something often allows the criminal to find out a great deal (A leading question may be, "When can I speak to you and your husband?") • Women: tion that is away disclose lifestyle, • • If you are a single woman, do not list your name in the phone book as Mary Jones. It would be better to put M.B. Jones. Tothe criminal, it is an indication that you are a woman living alone. • If you have children, shut-ins, or elderly persons at home, be sure to warn them about giving information on the telephone. They should be urged to give only one reply when you are not home, and that is, "Mary is busy right now. Leave your number and she will call you back." As a reminder, print the proper message on a piece of paper and display it near the phone. • In case of obscene, threatening or harassing phone calls, the first and best thing to do is hang up. Do not engage in any conversation. If you have a silent caller on the telephone who doesn't respond to your "hello", hang up. If you are being annoyed on the phone, report it. The telephone company will help you if you are receiving obscene, harassing or annoying phone calls. It is against both state and federal laws to make these phone calls. The penalties for breaking these laws are imprisonment and/or fine. Do not volunteer the informayour husband works days, or or that you are single. Don't any information about your habits or work hours. Don't be chatty. You may give away information without even thinking about it. If the service is one you are interested in, you can always call them. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A GEMCO FAN? • PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY DON'T GIVE INFORMATION TO STRANGERS ON THE TELEPHONE. MEMBERSHIP (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3) last fall. "Phoenix is a very defined market," explains Hitzelberger, "and not representative of the rest of the chain. We decided to try non-membership for that market only." In practical terms, what will we as GEMCO employees be seeing in the next few months? The reintroduction of a mailer, somewhat similar to the Courier, which hasn't been published for almost a year now. The new mailer, more contemporary and procuct-centered, has been redesigned to be unique to GEMCO and have high impact. Also, member service will receive much more attention than in the past. Yes, GEMCO is committed to remain a membership department store. It's what makes us unique. It's what makes us better. 6 Mark Lisnow will continue to direct Soft- lines as Vice President, General Merchandise Manager of that area. Softlines includes all apparel areas as well as Fine Jewelry, newly added under' the new organization plan. Since joining MARK LlSNOW GEMCO in May, 1984, Mark's aim has been for greater emphasis on consistency of merchandise and on presentation. A department store veteran (most recently with Macy's and before that, Ohrbach's), Mark has put into practice many effective department store merchandising principles, such as better planning and expertise in the selection of merchandise, colors, presentation, quality levels, labeling and hang tags. ''All the things we learned at the department store level are now starting to be translated down to mass merchandising business," says Mark. Reporting to Mark in the new merchandisinq structure will be Jeff Koblick, DMM Ladies Heady-to-Wear and Sportswear: Earl Katz, DMM Ladies Intimate Apparel and Accessories; Marty Fogelman, DMM Men's and Boys'; and Bernie Schonherz, DMM, Childern's. Bob Nilsen has been appointed to the new responsibilities of Director, Competitive Analysis. The three merchandising divisions, Hardlines, Home and Softlines, will report directly to Stan Brenner, President. So what is the result of these changes? A cleaner, more streamlined organization, designed along lines more traditional in the retail industry, with a more logical pairing of buying areas. The plan, Stan explains, is very much the culmination of strategic thinking done by management in the stores and in merchandising during the last few years. The new structure, coupled with a clearly defined, updated marketing philosophy (see "Interview with Stan Brenner" on Page 4) will greatly improve GEMCO's ability to plan and execute merchandising strategies and to react quickly and imaginatively to customer needs. A fond Gemco salute to our resigning C.E.O. Don Ritchey. Our best wishes to you Don, in your new role. Special congratulations to both John Lillie and Larry Del Santo in their new responsibilities. l ~l PEOPLE ON THE MOVE r- , Following is a listing of promotions and new hires that occurred in April and May, Best wishes to the following employees in their new assignments with GEMCO: AGUILAR, DENISE CRAIG, GLORIA HEDMAN, DAVID MAMMEN, STEVE RIZZI, FRANK From: (new hire) To: Acct Secy From: Cashier/819 To: Asst.
