...able to wean the customer off the sale heroin? It's not going to be easy," says retail consultant Cynthia Cohen, president of Strategic Mindshare.

Deborah Weinswig, a financial analyst with Citigroup, says shoppers are likely to find more of that kind of merchandise in the months to come. The strategy has worked well for J.C. Penney.
