PROFILE |
 |
Debenhams has had a front-row seat to fashion for more than two centuries. The stalwart retailer runs about 90 department stores in the UK and Ireland that sell women's, men's, and children's apparel; cosmetics; and housewares. It targets customers in the 35-55 age range. Company brands, which include Casual Club, Red Herring, Maine New England, and Hyphen, account for about half of sales. Debenhams also offers a wedding gift service and in-store restaurants and cafes. It has been expanding through franchises in the Middle East and plans stores in Malaysia. Formerly part of the Burton Group (now Arcadia Group), Debenhams was spun off in 1998.
