PROFILE |
 |
What's next in style is what concerns NEXT. The trendy retailer sells moderately priced clothing for stylish men, women, and children through some 335 Next stores in the UK and Ireland. It also operates about 35 stores elsewhere in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East through franchise agreements. NEXT sells online, too. The company designs its own brand of clothing, and it sells furniture and home furnishings. About two-thirds of sales come from retail stores. The rest comes from its Next Directory catalog and Ventura, which provides call center and customer support services for other firms. NEXT is expanding its selling space, opening larger stores, and closing small ones.
