A former Movie Gallery executive has transitioned from popcorn to scrubs, with a uniform boutique that offers an explosion of color.

Gary Hay, former senior vice president of concessions at the national movie rental chain, purchased Source One Apparel in May and relocated the shop to the Video Warehouse Plaza, just across from Southeast Alabama Medical Center.

Hay and his wife, Bridget, call the shop Scrubs 101, because they offer more than 101 designs, from basic to bold.

“Our whole idea was to offer trendy, colorful and fashionable merchandise,” said Hay, as he stands in the middle of the floor surrounded by designs ranging from daisies to dogs in colors ranging from lime green to chocolate brown.

“We also wanted people to have a great shopping experience with good customer service.”

For Hay, it is a return to his roots. In his early 20s, he owned and operated two men’s clothing stores in Selma and Alexander City. The same businessman who gave Hay his start back in 1974 is the one who led him into the uniform business.

“After I left Movie Gallery, I was trying to find something to do,” he said. “A friend was in the uniform business in Sylacauga. He said I should take a look at it. Because of our past business relationship, when he said ‘uniforms,’ I listened.”

Hay found that the store right here in Dothan was for sale, had been in business 14 years and had a faithful clientele. Relocating it from Circle West to across from the largest medical complex in the city made good sense.

“I think SAMC employs about 2,400 people and Flowers around 2,000. When you consider the area we pull from, including Donalsonville, Ga., and Marianna, Fla., there are probably close to 10,000 people working in the medical field.”

Also, veterinary staffs and day cares have begun using scrub uniforms.

The shop carries a variety of lines including Cherokee, which has the largest market share in the business, Peaches, Grey’s Anatomy, Dickie’s, Iguanamed (a new eco-friendly line) and Baby Phat. The store also sells designer badge clips, shoes and some medical supplies.

Scrubs offers personalized embroidery and alterations and stocks sizes ranging from extra small to 5X.

And while he no longer sells the sweet stuff that accompanies a good movie, he notes he is still selling comfort. He sees these casual and comfortable outfits as transcending the medical field. The draw-string pants and tops make great sleep and loungewear.

And, Hay says, the most expensive clothing item in the store is about $26.

“Retail is retail, regardless of what you sell,” he said. “The customer is still number one and telling the customer you appreciate their business still counts for a lot. You want people to come back, not just because of what you have in the store, but because of the high-quality service.”

The American clothing brand Hollister has a cult teenage following across the US and last week launched its first store in New York. The company aims to draw in the 14-18 crowd with impossibly attractive sales staff, beach-hut style interiors and pumping music. We sent two teenagers, Kitty and Flora, to check out the giant Big Apple store and assess whether they left wanting a new wardrobe.

You might think that any retailer targeting teenagers would be onto a loser. After all, what self-respecting teen wants to be honey trapped so easily? But we have to admit it’s hard to resist the full power of Hollister’s allure.

For those unacquainted with one of Hollister’s four European outposts - in the Westfield shopping mall in London’s Shepherd’s Bush - the brand is a little sister (est. 2000) to Abercrombie and Fitch. Like Abercrombie, it sells super soft t-shirts and jogging pants, comfy checked lumberjack shirts and jeans in about a billion different washes. So far so nice, but somehow we could never quite understand why, alone of all the shops at Westfield (apart from the similarly reassuring but not exactly stylish Ugg store) it always has queues outside. Maybe it’s because it looks different from anything else in the UK. Clad outside in clapboard it looks a California beach hut that has accidentally crash landed in W12. Or maybe it’s just because the British like to queue.

Maybe Americans do too. Because here we are in New York, sussing out the shopping ops for teens (Topshop is sooo expensive here and somehow lacks the cool vibe of our beloved Oxford Circus branch, or maybe we’re biased) and as part of our mission we’re visiting the new Hollister store.

And yes, there’s a queue of teenagers outside waiting for it to open. It’s not just new (brand new in fact, we were there last Thursday 16th July, the day it opened), it’s the first Hollister in NYC, even though there are hundreds across America. And not just the first, but what they call an Epic - or in normal speak, a flagship. And it is HUGE. At 40,000 square feet it’s like a mini department store - it’s a pretty cool, typical New York-style building on Broadway and Houston, slap in the middle of SoHo. It must have a preservation order on it, because there’s none of Hollister’s usual clapboard cladding.

We arrived early at the store before opening, to see a group of Hollister staff waiting on the corner in the uniform Hollister chequered shirts and mini mini-shorts. Even the guy in the ice cream vending machine outside is wearing a Hollister t-shirt. You could feel the excitement. Apparently thousands of teens had applied for a job here, and of course the chosen few all look gorgeous. Flanking the entrance are two topless boys, there to create ambience, with pecs to make Zac Ephron weep.

Actually most of the staff it turns out are there to create ambience. They’re even referred to as models, rather than sales staff. That maybe because none of them knows where anything is. We decided this was a deliberate policy to give customers an “opportunity to browse”. Doesn’t that seriously frustrate the customer? Yes if you’re coming in a hurry to buy something specific (in which case, don’t come; buy it online instead). But if you’re coming for shopping as an experience then it’s really pretty enjoyable.

Another word of advice: don’t allow yourself to feel insecure or wound up by the all the beautiful staff. They’re actually pretty nice and repeatedly great you with “heywozz’up?” (perhaps they were trying to say hello and asking us how we were). Ok, people always say the American Have a Nice Day attitude is insincere, but we prefer that (and the equivalent heywozz’up) to sincere grumpiness.

Mind you, half the time it’s hard to distinguish shoppers from the Hollister staff. The queue of young people taking a day out of their summer holidays to explore the new store were all already dressed in the exact same outfits of the staff.

Inside, the store is pretty amazing. It’s on four floors, although of course they’re not referred to as floors. The basement is below the pier, ground is on the pier and so on. The “pier” referred to is a real one in California and there are giant screens everywhere with live feed from the beach by the pier. When you go to pay for your clothes, there’s another huge screen behind the cash registers - time it right and you’ll see surfers heading out of the screen straight towards you.

The store is divided into tons of different rooms, including one dedicated to Hollister perfumes that looks like an old Parisian shop. The latest Hollister scent by the way is called - wait for it - Epic, they must pump it out of the vents because we can smell it everywhere. Not that the rooms are called rooms. In true Hollister style, the girls’ rooms are called cottages. The boy’s rooms are called shacks. Oh and boys are referred to as dudes. Girls are Bettys. And the store itself is gorgeous, with vast funky chandeliers, dark panelling, loads of vintage-y looking armchairs to rest your weary limbs on - and everywhere you look, those gorgeous Hollister models dancing around and asking you “heywozz’up”.

But what about the clothes? We have to be honest and admit that being Topshop devotees, we’d pigeon holed Hollister as a bit preppy. Nice, but more for slouching around in that anything more serious. But the Epic has got tons of different stuff, some of it exclusive to this store and definitely more fashionable than the tourist-fodder Hollister emblazoned t-shirts. Obviously you find yourself picking up loads items you weren’t expecting to find and didn’t think Hollister was capable of: beautiful blazers, an entire room of really cute bikinis (when the rest of New York had sold out and stupidly moved onto winter stuff, even though it’s still July), great belts and fab shirts. They are proof that you can look cool and up to date in a Hollister outfit and put together something individual. Hollister has definitely upped the ante - but budget alert, it’s hardly dirt cheap. H&M this isn’t .

On the other hand, there’s a huge amount of attention to detail. The roar of soft rock may drive your parents crazy and the staff’s interesting approach to help takes some getting used to, but it makes for a shopping experience unlike any other we’ve come across anywhere. We’ll definitely be back. We hope. And we hope that other brands wishing to sell to teenagers take a leaf out of Hollister’s book and make their shops more exciting. It’s time to put the fun back into shopping.

DSquared Productions (D2) announces a first for the company. It is teaming up with Fat Chef Café (25 Peavine Plaza, approximately four miles north of I-40 exit 322, on the right toward Fairfield Glade) for a dinner theater presentation every Monday and Tuesday in June, at 6 p.m.

Patty Payne, a D2 company member, has been looking for a dinner theater production for some time and has found the ideal show to perform at the Fat Chef Café, owned by her brother, Jerry Payne. “Barbara’s Blue Kitchen,” a comedy with music by Lori Fischer, who wrote the book, music, and lyrics, takes place in a small diner in Watertown, TN one summer day from open to close.

Originally written as a tour de force for the author, D2’s production of “Barbara’s Blue Kitchen” will expand the cast to include some of their most talented performers. Rusty McClanahan will play Dickie Brian Hull, the wacky disc jockey at radio station WATR, “where all the songs are original and all the folks listening are one of a kind.” His original country flavor songs and commercials include such titles as “Love Is Slippery,” “I Want My Kidney Back” and “God Allows U-turns;” and the folks listening truly are one of a kind.

There’s Barbara Jean, played by Patty Payne, who owns her own diner and worries about her bald spot. Patty also plays Jeanette, her new inept waitress who only wants to sell Tupperware and has been Barbara Jean’s pen pal since childhood, and Melissa, Barbara Jean’s sister, mother of three boys whose husband recently left her.

Pat Kelly will play the roles of Tessie, a lovable senior citizen from the Happiness Home across the street, and Miss Morris, a nurse who is planning a trip to see the pyramids. Other diner characters include Tommy Lee, Melissa’s 8-year-old son, who has just been bitten by his dog, Killer; and Lombardo, the Italian owner of Lombardo’s Beauty Emporium, who wants to be a country singer and is Barbara Jean’s love interest. Dennis Donald will play both of these roles. Pat, Dennis, and Patty will lend their voices to more songs including “Love Coming Through,” “Blue Winged Butterfly,” “Can You Hear Me?” and “Mom Doesn’t Know It.” Patty Payne will direct the production with musical direction by Rhonda Wallace.

Tickets for “Barbara’s Blue Kitchen” are $25, which includes dinner, a choice of beverage, dessert, show, and tax (tip not included) and may be purchased only at the Fat Chef Café (456-8171). Reservations are required – Patty or Alice Payne will be at the Fat Chef to take reservations Wednesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. beginning April 15.

As Lori Fisher says in the author’s note of the script, “’Barbara’s Blue Kitchen’, God only knows what color it really was. It felt blue though. Every time I walked into it, it felt like a big blue neatly lived-in surprise.” So, come, be surprised by the fun and quirky characters of “Barbara’s Blue Kitchen” every Monday and Tuesday in June at 6 p.m. at the Fat Chef Café, on Peavine Rd.

The new millennium, Europe and the United States luxury market to the pinnacle of development. McKinsey reported that the wealth in 2000 of more than one million U.S. dollars an increase of 18%, a dramatic inflation of the bubble of luxury consumption. Year, LVMH profits increased by 30%, Prada sales increased 57%, Gucci was the third-quarter profit increased 20%. Subsequently, there is no sign that the bubble finally burst in 2001, a number of brands to follow the rapid shrinking profits, turn off the road at No. 5 New York, the flagship stor treets. Their exposure to show off, feel too much money to spend, due to excessive depreciation of the marketing themselves, and finally became a victim of success. Followed by “9-11″ and the impact of the global industry, but the biggest blow to the tourism industry, and social elite groups - from the birth of luxury services for them - began as a “fashion” to find a new concept.

Mainland China’s luxury goods market turning point, but also before and after 2000. Beijing’s China World Shopping Center, Shanghai’s Citic Pacific, Hang Lung Plaza, opening in succession, from the star hotel luxury retail, department stores transferred to the shopping mall. However, due to China’s trade restrictions and taxes, luxury brand sales channels is extremely complex. Most brands run to take first-line cities, two, three lines of urban development by the agents of mixed-mode, some brand means to recover the use of hard-line agent, agency disputes, so that this period of unusual luxury retail confusion.

The real turning point appeared in 2004. This year, June 1, “the field of foreign investment management business,” the official implementation, foreign brands are no longer subject to the restrictions set up chain stores. Luxury brands will have to abandon their trade into the Chinese mainland companies, hosting company, began to self-expansion of the luxury fashion and the resulting penetration of life of the general public in China. At this time the ordinary Chinese people should have a real Baby Phat  understanding of luxury goods.
