Guys: Costner! Girls: Gibson...

PacSun is ironing out some kinks in its business, from customer service to inventories to real estate. But it's certainly not all doom and gloom.

Check out the commendable rebound performance for Guys in Q2. Their strategy to bolster, collaborate with and celebrate "heritage" brands appears to be paying off. Costner!


For Juniors, the story is not as pretty (Gibson)...but not surprising. Christine Lee has just begun to work her magic, and her impact won't be fully felt until Spring 2011. If Guys is an evolution, Juniors is the revolution.
