We are working with K&G Fashion Superstores in their search for an
Online Merchandiser based in Atlanta, GA (home of the Braves, Coca
Cola and the world's largest Aquarium). K&G Fashion Superstores is
launching a new e-commerce enabled site. This is a great opportunity
to get in on the ground floor of a major initiative and help drive and
define its success.
Founded in 1989, K&G Fashion Superstores, a subsidiary of Men’s
Wearhouse (accounting for 15-20% of Men’s Warehouse revenue), offers
first-quality, current-season merchandise consisting of all major
categories of apparel, including business attire, casual wear, formal
wear, shoes, and accessories for men, women and children. Since coming
under new leadership in 2008, the company continues to implement
well-received changes in product assortment and markdown strategies.
As 2009 came to a close, K&G reached completion of a cost-effective
redesign of the majority of our 100+ stores that enhances their
customers’ shopping experience. With prices up to 60% below department
store prices, the “fashion with the victim” advertising campaign
emphasizes the extraordinary value and fashion available to our K&G
