Gurnee welcomes Carhartt store

Carhartt, a store that’s famous for rugged clothing, recently opened a store in the Gurnee Town Center. Carhartt has been making work clothes for over 100 years.

According to Jamie Millar, Carhartt’s vice president of retail, the company chose to locate a store in Gurnee because the community has a strong railroad and farming history, which aligns closely with Carhartt’s heritage as a company.

The location in Gurnee is the 30th retail location for Carhartt, and comprises over 3,900 square feet. The store offers hundreds of apparel styles for men, women, and children, along with accessories and footwear. Iconic items are available, as well as new lines for the company such as Carhartt Force and Force Extremes. The new store is on West Grand Avenue, and has opened just in time for holiday shoppers to find gifts.

Carhartt products are sold globally, and the company is known for rugged clothing that is suitable for wear both on the job and off. The company’s headquarters are in Dearborn, Michigan and it has about 5,400 employees around the world. The company is still managed and owned by descendants of Hamilton Carhartt, who established the company in 1889.

Companies like these can benefit by working with catalog printing companies, which can create colorful catalogs that show all items for sale in detail, and include detailed descriptions to further help customers make selections.
