Alright went back again to the same nex outlet to " recee" around 130pm , staff headcount was half ( perhaps around 3 ? ) of what i saw on a weekend ( perhaps staff had went for break , or it's a weekday or timing issue that doesn't required much man power as compared to weekend.) Observed that it was a good man power management and cost management if that was what Challenger implemented , i may need to "recee" few other outlets to make a conclusion.

It was their "stock take " day as stocks are lying around the outlet. Crowd wasn't much at the timing of the weekday .

The company spend about 6 cents per dollars of revenue. The expense has been well-managed comparing with its closer peers, Courts and Harvey Norman. Courts spend close to 9 cents, while Harvey Norman spend close to 8 cents per dollars of their revenue.

Well, it might not be a fair comparison, due to furnitures/appliances sold in Courts/Harvey Norman, but at least the expense has been well-managed, if not done outstandingly

Can't help but notice the drop in margins over the years. As of the last FY NPM is 4.4%, down from 5.8% in 2009-2010. This, however, is more than compensated by the doubling of revenues since then.
