Re: Quiz anyone? Since first flagged up on Monday, I notice Quiz has had a good week from 124p to 140.5p, a rise of 13.3% in 5 days. I'd settle for that in a year! Definitely one to watch.

Financial year results? Anyone know the date for when we will receive full year results for boohoo? seems like its going to be a very very eventful day, still down so much from 260p I seem to think that we will do drastically better than other clothing companies, mainly those with retail stores but we will have to see.

Re: Quiz anyone? I get the point your trying to make but zara is and always has been a higher end clothing compared to these sort of companies. And returns are a joke whether online or in store and boohoo realise they have no stores and it might be an issue which is why they offer free returns on every single order. i agree boohoo are cheap and cheerful and i have made a point before of saying how i feel boohoo under perform on this end by adding logo's to some of the range (mainly men's clothing) where ASOS are likely way ahead. the company itself also try to get away from just cheap and cheerful by acquiring other brands such as prettylittlething which has been really good for them. everyone should do their own research into this, and quiz might be a good idea due to the huge drop when looking at the share summary but for me, any retail store at the moment isn't something i want to invest my money into. Good discussion Doug! YI

Re: Quiz anyone? Of course having stores will incur an overhead but Zara seems to be doing alright so its all about getting the management and image right IMO. Quiz also do masses of online sales but for any girl / woman looking for a dress I think they would prefer to try it on somewhere before buying as sizes vary from place to place and a dress in a photo rarely looks the same once you try it on ... the colours and style have to fit your height, hair, arms, figure, skin tone, etc - basically a bunch of things I (as a man) know zilch about. I think BooHoo have a nice niche in cheap and cheerful but will miss out on the more expensive items (a big market) as people need to try expensive clothes on and don't want the hassle of posting stuff back when it doesn't work out. Quiz IMO seem to have a good balance between online and stores and between low end and up market clothing. I also have to bow to the superior knowledge of my daughter and wife and their seemingly insatiable shopping habits. Anyway, DYOR and GLA.

Re: Quiz anyone? I like how out of the last 3 posts you pick up on the word chav? the meaning of the whole post wasn't even anything related to that word, it was more about whether this new proposed store was a better alternative than boohoo. In my opinion its not because of huge overheads on stores and reduced profits because of it, in addition to reductions in retail spending in the UK in general which will drive it even lower for companies like this. One of the many reasons being 'online' in the retail sector at the moment is a better alternative.additionally I gave females perspective on it after it was picked out I was male and thus didn't know much about the store, so I reiterated what I had picked up from a conversation with them about the store and a comparison to boohoo. Out of the 5 females I asked, that was the general consensus about the store and they much preferred boohoo. YI

Re: Quiz anyone? Chav?! You have got to be kidding me! It's like somebody buying a Proton accusing somebody who buys a Skoda of being a cheapskate! Cheap is stylish whilst less cheap is chav! Chav was originally all about the supposed "lower classes" buying up-market gear e.g. Burberry. It now seems to have lost all sense of meaning. Personally, I don't think either website has anything to brag about in the chav stakes.

Re: Quiz anyone? Yes I am male but thought I would have heard by now from female friends... asked girlfriend last night and she has heard of it but seems to think stores are up and down like a yo-yo and never stay in the same place...Also after just asked, quiz is cheaper looking compared to boohoo, more expensive than boohoo, and apparently more of a chav look compared to boohoo styles...My friends at least prefer boohoo so I will stick with this I think YI

Re: Quiz anyone? "Im in early 20's and have never heard of it as of yet."I assume you're male? Ask your female friends. Having seen the buzz at the store last Saturday, Quiz will be big. Get on before it's too late.

Re: Quiz anyone? maybe some concept there, Im in early 20's and have never heard of it as of yet... and if it has stores then maybe not a good punt? especially with stores being a big financial burden that boohoo hasnt got, thank god!additionally, their website looks awfully similar to boohoo? hmm

Quiz anyone? With Boo in a slump of late I looked at what today's kids are buying fashion wise.Having teenage daughter and her friends in the know it seems "Quiz" is the place to shop. Also separately recommended by my son's girlfriend at Uni. The city centre Quiz shop was packed on Saturday and the tills were ringing. I think I will take a punt there. My young advisers said Next was just awful and BooHoo is cheap but nothing to be proud of and they keep getting the orders wrong. So, Quiz anyone?
