James Beattie PLC
 PROFILE
James Beattie's stores are beating the trend. Founded in 1877, the firm has weathered the hostile retail environment in the UK while other chains have consolidated or closed up shop altogether. The company's 10 Beatties department stores are located mostly in central England. In addition to selling men's, women's, and children's apparel and accessories, electronics, housewares, and appliances, many stores have cafes or restaurants, hair salons, bridal salons, and local delivery service. Beatties has been expanding by enlarging existing stores and opening new ones; three new stores are planned through 2003. James Beattie founded the company in 1877 as Victoria Draper Supply Store in Wolverhampton.
