Goody's Family Clothing Announces Launch of New Ashley Judd Plus-Size Clothing Line
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Goody's Family Clothing, Inc.
(Goody's), a moderately priced family apparel retailer operating in small to
midsize markets primarily throughout the Southeast, today announced that
Goody's will launch a new line of clothing designed by Ashley Judd for plus-
sized women. The "Ashley Judd Plus" line will be available in 150 Goody's
stores beginning in August 2008.
Following the strong performance of Ashley Judd's current collection,
which has been sold exclusively at Goody's since September 2007, Ashley Judd
has once again partnered with Goody's to sell a new line designed specifically
for plus-sized women.
"We are delighted to continue our excellent partnership with Ashley Judd
by expanding her offering with the Ashley Judd Plus Line," said Goody's CEO,
Paul White. "Our customers have warmly received the Ashley Judd collection,
and the brand has become a key part of Goody's merchandise selection. Further,
sales from the collection have been strong since the introduction in September
2007 and the brand has been a consistent differentiator to our business. We
look forward to the launch of another one of Ashley's lines and giving our
plus-sized customers a great fashion offering."
The entire Ashley Judd label consists of classic yet modern denim, organic
and knit tees and sweaters, and career casual mix-and-match pieces that
include blazers, blouses, skirts, cardigan sets and trousers. This new line
will reflect the same mix of merchandise.
A portion of sales from the Ashley Judd collection help support Goody's
Good Deeds for Good Schools, a program that awards half a million dollars in
grants to kindergarten through 12th grades in Goody's communities. Proceeds
go towards helping pay for items local schools need but cannot afford through
regular channels of educational funding, such as renovations to school
playgrounds, updated computer games or technology, and various arts programs.
Goody's offers a broad selection of merchandise that compliments Ashley
Judd's lines and targets value-conscious customers, such as lines from Adidas,
Levis, Nike, Dockers, Chaps, Reebok, Lee, and Alfred Dunner. Goody's also
offers several private-label collections including Ivy Crew, Mountain Lake,
Duck Head Jeans Co., and Kid Crew.
