[edit] History

Peacocks were first founded in Warrington in 1884 as a family owned business, which relocated to Cardiff in the 1940s, where its headquarters remain. This move had a profound effect on the development of the group, its growing network was concentrated in South Wales and southern England for many years.

The growth seen in the early 1990s resulted in the firm floating on the London Stock Exchange in December 1999. The company delisted from the exchange on 1 February 2006, again becoming a privately owned firm.

[edit] Operations

Along side the key Peacocks operation the group has concessions in Big W, Somerfield and Kwiksave and franchises overseas in Turkey, Bahrain and UAE. The group also includes the bonmarché and The Fragrance Shop brands.
