In our 20 years, this is the most interesting and most difficult environment to move in I\u2019ve seen,\u201d Wallace said, adding that he would wait to up the store count until the economy improves or until Active finds an investment partner to help take the chain national. . . Looking toward the new year, Wallace is cautious, but positive. \u201cWe\u2019re playing it very conservative for 2009,\u201d he said, adding that he wouldn\u2019t rule out store closings, if needed. \u201cWe\u2019ll do what makes sense for our business.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, playing it conservative probably isn&#8217;t a bad idea at this point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Link: <\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wwd.com\/footwear-news\/independent-spotlight-active-ride-shop-1918546?gnewsid=3d8165951e15540d6e4e8751872c5636\" target=\"_blank\">Women&#8217;s Wear Daily<\/a><\/strong><strong>]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women&#8217;s Wear Daily did a really nice feature profile on Active Ride Shop in their Independent Spotlight section today.
