22nd December, 2008 - 4:43 pm
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel - The loss of Brett Fave and the condition of the nation's economy have crippled Green Bay's merchandising sales this season.

"One thing with Packers sales, there's always been a certain steadiness," said Jeff Lemieux, owner of Jeff Sports Inc., a souvenir and collectables outlet with stores in Brookfield and Menomonee Falls. "You can always count on 'X' amount of sales.

"This is our 27th year. There are seasons above and beyond, like last year or the Super Bowl years. It usually doesn't dip down below a steadiness line. But this year . . . we've had to work a little harder at it."

Merchandising sales have reportedly been down 10% to 15% this season in Green Bay. [READ]
