The Wall Street Journal reported today that YDG executives have confirmed their intentions to open a cat-themed sock monkey store in 2014. Responding to increased consumer sock monkey spending in FY09, YDG officials have been eager to tap into the personalized sock monkey business. "This is something we've been interested in doing for a long time," said an anonymous YDG board member. "Unfortunately, it will take quite a few years to collect enough socks to meet demand." When questioned about the cost of the future sock monkeys, the YDG executive responded, "We're very excited to introduce the first sock monkey line manufactured entirely by cats. We anticipate being able to pass those realized cost-savings directly to sock monkey consumers."Though cat-manufacturing was banned in the United States in 1992, many companies have found ways to continue this practice off-shore. "Our strategic plan involves sending a boat-full of cats into international waters, filling the boat with sock material and buttons, and letting nature take its course."
