Periscope Sportswear, Inc.
 PROFILE
Periscope Sportswear has a plan for staying above water in the fickle world of fashion. The company designs updated versions of basic fashions unlikely to go out of style. It sells women's and children's clothing, primarily under private labels, through over 11,000 stores operated by about 150 customers. Kmart, Sears, and Charming Shoppes (operator of Fashion Bug stores) account for more than half of Periscope's sales. The company's knit and woven garments include tops, bottoms, dresses, and short sets. Its products are manufactured by third-party contractors, primarily in Mexico, China, and Taiwan. Founded in 1975, Periscope was bought in 1998 by Giant Group, which also has interests in the fast-food business.
