PROFILE |
 |
Clothes might make the man, but they make Matalan even more. Based on the US warehouse club concept, the retailer's more than 100 stores sell fashionable apparel at bargain prices. Matalan's stores, which average about 21,000 sq. ft. in size, are located on the outskirts of towns across Great Britain. The retailer sells both name-brand and private-label apparel for men, women, and children as well as some housewares products. Matalan's high quality goods have allowed it to flourish at a time when many UK clothing retailers are struggling. Chairman John Hargreaves, who founded the company in 1985, and his family own about 69% of Matalan. Matalan is expanding its store count and plans to issue its own credit cards.
