One would think that a company would make a decision of what to carry based on sales and profit margins. Given that the "average" American woman is a size 16 - 18 (the data that said it was a size 14 is a decade old, and new information indicates the larger size), were their sales really skewed that far toward smaller sizes? And if that was the case, I wonder why.
I believe in inclusivity, but I also believe companies make a lot of decisions to further their bottom line, some of which I agree with, and many of which I don't. If they made their decision based on solid data that shows they do not sell enough of certain size ranges, I guess that's a financial choice they're willing to make. But I have to wonder where the "average American woman" is buying her clothes that so many places don't carry them. It seems it would be a wise financial decision for more places to carry more size-inclusive clothing.
ETA: I just reread kkards post, and given the situation, I better understand the decision. They're likely preparing to sell or close.
