The J. Jill Group's fortune has been catalog fashion, and catalogs aren't so fashionable anymore. To mend its bottom line, the direct marketer turned to retail outlets and online sales, with aggressive plans to open new stores across the US; it currently operates more than 280 stores across the US. The firm targets active, affluent women ages 35 and up, and banks on its J. Jill brand. The catalog and the Web site offer private-label casual wear made in the US and abroad. J. Jill Group's retail operations are its fastest growing division. J. Jill was acquired in 2006 by Talbots, which amid a rapidly deteriorating retail climate is looking to unload the struggling chain.
