Matalan- Clothing and homewares retailers.

Matalan is one of the UK's leading clothing and homewares retailers offering quality fashion and homewares at up to half the equivalent high street price.

John Hargreaves, the founder of Matalan, discovered the out of town retail US concept that sold a range of food and non-food products at low prices in the 1970's. John decided to implement the same retail concept in the UK, so in 1985 the first Matalan store opened in Preston. Since then Matalan has grown significantly and by 1995 there were 50 stores across the UK. In 1997, in order to cope with Matalan's growth, the head office was relocated from Preston to Skelmersdale along with a new distribution centre. Matalan now trades from 5 million square feet in over 190 stores.

Shopping at Matalan offers outstanding quality at prices that are simply unmatched elsewhere. By buying direct from the manufacturer and having convenient out of town stores with low overheads, Matalan is able to offer unbeatable value for money.

Matalan offers something for all the family. With an average 30,000 sq. ft per store, Matalan's product range offers a comprehensive selection of quality homewares, ladies', men's and children's clothing and footwear - all under one roof. With the latest key looks for the season, from modern basics to classic styles, customers can choose from a range of in-house brands like Be Beau, Et Vous, Rogers & Rogers, 24:7 and Denim 73, as well as top fashion names including Wrangler, Falmer, Wonderbra, Wolsey and Lee Cooper.
