The one constant all those years was poor management. Elliot Brody was a pretty decent guy but could never figure out the next step going from a parts yard that also offered imported original equipment replacement items such as exhaust manifolds to being a department store operation. Then as they took in more outside money the people calling the shots wanted to go head to head with Walmart. That takes a lot of capital of which CT never was in the same galaxy as Walmart. Then they got obsessed with quick turns on merchandise like Walmart does. The result of that was the product line becoming as shallow as a mud puddle.

During the glory days of the early 1990's each store in New York received at least a partial shipment of stock per week from the main warehouse. One truck would have orders for 2 or 3 stores and if your store was down the line you called the earlier stores in the route for transfers. Those trucks would hit Batavia and Geneseo before they would hit the Finger Lakes locations. During the busy season early in spring each store would get one full trailer from a supplier such as Noma (Dynamark).
