PROFILE |
 |
Littlewoods Organisation is betting the farm on retail. The company is the UK's largest privately owned retailer, with about 270 outlets under the Littlewoods, Index, and Littlewoods Catalogue Discounts Stores names. Once the operator of the UK's largest football (soccer) pool, the company sold off its betting operations after the emergence of the National Lottery began taking a bite out of the business. Littlewoods is focusing on its retail and catalog businesses (about 85% of its sales). The company also has a home shopping channel (Shop!) and sells merchandise from its Index web site. Littlewoods is owned by the Moores family, which started the company as a football pool business in 1923.
