Dept. of Broken Links. We ran across the following headline yesterday:
"Krispy Kreme said its chief operating officer resigned. John Tate is expected to take a similar position at Restoration Hardware." (Reuters)
And we wondered if it might even be possbile that even a great tasting Krispy donut exec would be able to shake up a store that seems hopelessly mired in the late 90's. OHR

Considering Tate is a Williams-Sonoma alum, the timing should prove interesting, since (as you posted here recently) W-S is now entering the home furnishings arena. Early sneak peaks in to their product offering seem to indicate that W-S Home (style-wise) could be a head-to-head competitor with Restoration Hardware.
And we thought the only interesting horse race around would be the upcoming presidential election!
But is it possible to be ALREADY "hopelessly mired" in the "late 90's"?!
