Re: ETH gross margins vs. FBN.      5-Nov-09 11:49 am    
You may have compared orange to apple. ETH is a vertical-integrated retail company who sells all of its Ethan Allen products within Ethan Allen stores, but FBN (even it owns 20 some Thomasville stores, even allowed to carry non-branded products to keep up its volume per store) is one of hundreds/thousands wholesale vendors to many 3rd party retailers.

Its reported margin 23%+ is good.
