Courts Plc
 PROFILE
Courts probably has a broader reach than even the long arm of the law. The company has retail stores in more than 20 countries; more than 60% of its revenues come from outside the UK. Courts' primary product areas are electronics and furniture. Electronics offerings include televisions, VCRs, and appliances. The company sells furnishings ranging from dining and bedroom sets to carpet and wood floor coverings. Electronics are the more dominant segment overseas and account for the majority of those sales. The company is abandoning its high street pedigree to embrace the suburban superstore format. The Cohen family, including chairman Paul Cohen, manages the company and owns about 30% of it.
