BagsGalore sells bags through two retail stores, named SuperBags and FashionStar. BagsGalore's chief operating officer (CEO), Lee, mentions at a press conference that the gross profit percentage for Superbags was 30%, while that for FashionStar was 60%, although the profit percentage for both of the retail stores was identical, namely, 12%.
