PROFILE |
 |
Peebles can cast a big pebble in small-town USA. The retailer typically locates its department stores in communities that are too small (10,000-25,000 households) to support a mall-based department store. Peebles has more than 120 stores located in 15 southeastern, midwestern, and mid-Atlantic states, mostly in strip shopping centers. The stores carry mainly mid-priced apparel, but they also offer cosmetics and decorative home accessories. Merchandise includes name brands such as Liz Claiborne, Ralph Lauren, Nine West, and Clinique. Store brands include Cape Classic and Sonoma Bay. Watson's, acquired in 1998, launched Peebles farther west. Investment firm Kelso & Company owns 93% of the company.
