Morning Call Retail Watch

http://bit.ly/YPk0lf

Shopper alert: Ross Dress for Success at South Mall along Lehigh Street will have its grand opening this Saturday, Oct. 6. I'll tell you more about it in Sunday's Retail Watch, but I didn't want you to miss out on opening day.

Hi everyone! My name is Irene Kraft. And, on Monday, I will take over Retail Watch. You all know I have some pretty big shoes to fill. Tyrone did an amazing job. I hope you will be patient with me as I learn the retail beat and you'll give me time to get up to speed. I welcome your help -- leads on new retail outlets, questions, etc. So please feel free to contact me
