The performance of inventory — how many times it «turns» in a year and how
successfully the store manages to buy what it needs without
wasting investment (tying up cash) and incurring margin - destroying revenueless - costs (return freight, probably added to inbound freight, plus
wasted labor shelving,
removing, packing, and shipping)-- is, by far, the single biggest determinant of whether a store succeeds commercially or fails.
