We are working with K&G Fashion Superstores in their search for an Online Merchandising Assistant 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 Warehouse (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 their 100+ stores that enhances customers’ shopping experience.

With prices up to 60% below department store prices, K&G's “fashion with the victim” advertising campaign emphasizes the extraordinary value and fashion available to K&G customers.  One of K&G's top initiatives for 2010, launching an e-commerce site will expand the company's market share in the discount sector, which continues to benefit from consumers becoming more price conscious in these tough economic times.
