It's the end of an era for Nick Badminton as he announced his resignation as CEO of Pick n Pay last week, marking the final days of his 32-year career with the company. The retail giant is now on the hunt for a "hard-as-nails" CEO. Bizcommunity would like wish Nick all the best with his future ventures, wherever his bicycle may take him. Love it or hate it, there's no stopping it. It's Valentine's Day tomorrow. Sales results for the occasion will be the focus this week with shoppers going back to basics, says Kalahari.com. Even Puma is getting in on the action with its "share the love" campaign. Although it's aimed at helping die-hard football fanatics tell their girl that he's her no.1 fan, I have a feeling that any girl with her own football-loving freak will hijack the concept. Go on then, be a team player and share the love.
