Overview
United Retail Group looks for customers who are living large -- at least larger than a size 14. Serving a newly recognized and expanding demographic (size 14 and up) through about 500 AVENUE stores in about three dozen states, the retailer sells moderately priced plus-size women's clothing and accessories to fashion-conscious women ages 25 to 55. The stores -- mostly situated in strip shopping centers -- offer casual wear, career clothes, and accessories, mainly under the company's AVENUE private label, and shoes under the CLOUDWALKERS brand. Direct sales occur through branded Web sites. The company was sold to Redcats USA, a unit of French retailer PPR, in 2007.
