Famous Army Stores

Famous Army Stores

Famous Army Stores Ltd. was a major independent retailer of camping equipment, outdoor clothing footwear and army supplies. It was based in Garston, Liverpool, and was a chain of 200 stores with a turnover of £50 million. While it in administration, the then Directors Graham Smith, Steve Jowitt, John Nash and Keith Murray tried to buy the company, submitting the highest offer and trying to keep most of the chain. However, the preferred bidder and eventual owner, Blacks Leisure Group (Blacks), the company's arch enemy, acquired 47 stores and all of the stock. While Blacks retained all of the staff from the 47 stores, most of the managers left the business as the stores' brands were changed toMillets or Blacks.
