How James Rhee Turned Ashley Stewart Into a Sales Powerhouse | CEO Sales Huddle with Che Brown
Running a retail business, especially one focused on plus-sized fashion for African American women, was a challenge for James Rhee when he took over Ashley Stewart in 2013. The brand was struggling, and the market was not giving these women the attention they deserved. The plus-size women’s apparel market is a $30.7 billion business, but Ashley Stewart faced two challenges—catering to full-figured African American women and staying profitable. Amid efforts to celebrate women’s empowerment and inclusivity, the pandemic hit, forcing Ashley Stewart to close its 88 stores. The struggle intensified, but Rhee’s commitme...
