KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Goody's Family Clothing Inc. has agreed in principle to be acquired by an affiliate of private-investment firm Sun Capital Partners Inc. in a cash deal valued at $272.8 million, the department store chain said Thursday.

I mean, I'm sure he's a super nice guy and all, but he ranks right up there with the Plastic-Headed Burger King as someone who just gives me the creeps. My wife doesn't like to shop there because she thinks he's got cameras in the dressing room that link up to a television in his office.

#1 cool Aloha shirts
#2 blaze orange camo for deer season
#3 Dickes tee shirts with the pockets
#4 None of that silly "designer" stuff
Hummm, now that I think about it Cabela's scores real high except on the Alohas.
