		<description><![CDATA[Looking forward to 2010, what's on the horizon for big box retailers?  No doubt about it, 2009 has been a year of many contractions as everyone attempted to weather the economic storm.  Headcounts were reduced, vendors asked to cut costs and captial improvement projects were put on hold.  As a result, the more successful retailers are now facing a new challenge...what to do with cash that has been building and improving their balance sheets.  No one, including the large retailers are feeling very good about money market returns.  As a results, these large successful retailers will either raise dividends, increase acquisitions or invest in their stores via capital projects designed to capture additional market share.  All three will no doubt happen, but capital improvements will lead the way after being stymied most of the year.  The last hurdle to a busy 2010 is the Holiday shopping season. As more successful manufacturers look to gain market share through innovative promotions and merchandising campaigns, 2010 could shape up to be a very busy year.  The main thing lacking for the past 12 months was cash and confidence.  Looks like both are in a much better position as the new year approaches.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leading retailers have made major cuts in personnel and other vital resources and squeezed vendors to create solid profits through the current recession. Cash  is stockpilling in accounts as dividends have been trimmed to substitute financing resources and capital improvements have been put on hold. These more successfull retailers must now feel unsatisfied with money market returns and will look to either raise dividends, aquire companies, or invest in stores and capture additional market share. All three will no doubt happen with capital improvements leading the way after being stymied most of the recession. The Christmas season will determine the level of projects and their reach through out the chain. This event is mirrored in the vendor community as more successful manufactures look to take marketshare through inovative promotions and merchandising champaigns.  Many capital improvements have built up over the last 2 years and now there is a sufficient amount of  cash to implement.  Remoldeling and retail merchandising will take a more prominent role in the coming year. <a href="http://www.thebeamteam.com">www.thebeamteam.com</a> will be ready to answer this call.</p>
