Could you make this through natural please?
Could you please help me make this though natural please? The whole thing plus "doesn't look good for" is that natural?
If a stand at a department store doesn't make a specific profit, the heads of the department store meet with the people running the stand and want them out. The stand not selling well doesn't look good for the department store itself/makes the department store look bad. The department store wants stands that sell well and that attracts clientele.
Thank you

Department stores don't have 'stands'. American department stores are a single entity; they merely have departments (areas) for different kinds of goods. Japanese department stores sometimes lease portions of their facilities to boutiques and other retail entities.

Note: You've already defined the store as a department store, so you can just refer to it as "the store".

I have no idea whether I have heard any of your sentences on this thread or any other threads, Alex. Generally, yours are awkward and convoluted but possible utterances. All I do is point out those that seem impossible.
