Profiles of Six Leading US Apparel Retailers
With a large population and high income per head, demand for apparel in the USA is huge -- amounting to nearly US$300 bn during 2012. This has facilitated sustained growth of a number of giant retailers of apparel operating large chains of stores spread across the USA. The market is dominated by two types of retailers: stores focused exclusively on selling apparel; and department stores. The report profiles six leading US apparel retailers. Four of these -- JC Penney, Kohl's, Macy's and Nordstrom -- are department stores. The other two are Gap, a speciality retailer of apparel, and The TJX Companies, an off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions. The profiles include information and analysis on the development of each retailer, and on each retailer's brands, products, employment, strategies and financial performance.
