Missed It: FPI Trying Significant Back Issues Strategy In Birmingham Store

I almost missed this short post at the FPI Blog about a new strategy they're trying in one of the stores. That new strategy is back issues, of all things. I love this not just because I support retailers trying any and all things in maximizing sales at their stores, but because I love shopping back issues at comics shops. It's one of the unique pleasures of going to a comics shop. As much as I was told for years that I'm supposed to be more in love with stores that eschew such old-fashioned functions, and as much as back-issues strategy are usually pretty lame if not completely divorced from reality in terms of pricing and freshening the selection, I still look at them in every store I visit. I hope they're able to put into practice a strategy that works.
