Laura Rowley's book is also more pessimistic towards the guy, too. Tuxide 05:35, 19 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
After looking into it further, the book On Target is citing from this Chicago Tribune article: Wal-Mart acquires club rival. Unfortunately you have to pay for the damn thing to read it all, suckage. Tuxide 22:51, 19 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

This article should not be speedy deleted as lacking sufficient context to identify its subject, because the article subject is clearly a person called John Geisse and his contributions to the retailing industry. Tuxide (talk) 23:36, 5 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
