Some Retailers Remain Solid through the Downturn Economy

This post on Retailwire.com discusses how even though many businesses are struggling through the recession, companies like Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond, Urban Outfitters and GameStop show promise that they will come out of the recession stronger than before.

Best Buy and Bed Bath & Beyond are looking particularly strong because they are avoiding one less competitor, Linens ‘n Things and Circuit City which both have faltered in the last couple of months. Urban Outfitters and GameStop have both seen an increase in total revenue from the previous year, and so seem to be in great shape.

What are other examples of chain stores that are doing well during this troubled state?
