PROFILE |
 |
Unable to capture the elusive fashion customer, Paul Harris Stores has shut its doors. The women's specialty clothing retailer once operated about 260 stores in 28 states but downsized to about 160 before closing. Most of its Paul Harris stores sold private-label apparel under such names as Paul Harris, PHD, and PH Sport. Paul Harris Stores paid $10 million in 1999 to buy troubled J. Peterman Company, rescuing it from bankruptcy; it sold the apparel company in 2000. Slow sales and heavy debt prompted Paul Harris Stores to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2000. Store closures and financing efforts weren't enough to cure the company's ills, and Paul Harris Stores began closing its remaining locations in March 2001.
