Since Active is still a premier retailer in this industry, they are one of the most influential shops in trend-setting. I would assume that vendors will continue to ship them new product based on the strong influence they have on consumers. If Active goes out of business how will vendors cope with that loss of income? And how will smaller retailers gauge their buy with the loss of such a strong guide to current trends?
