Cotton On, a family business established in Geelong, proudly opened its
first store in Market Square in 1991. Other stores then followed in Country Victoria (Geelong, Ballarat,
Bendigo, Shepparton and Albury). Expanding into Melbourne saw the opening of the Melbourne Central store
followed by the purchase of a ladies wear retail chain in Western Australia (where 2 of the stores - Subiaco and Carillon
still remain today).
With stores in Melbourne and Perth continuing to grow, Cotton On have expanded into the other states and hope
to venture into NZ in 2006. They are also very pleased to have opened the Cotton On Kids concept stores across
the nation, the first being in September 2005. Currently there are 100 Adult stores and 15 Cotton On Kids
stores.
