History
After decades of expansion Peebles acquired the Nashville-based upscale Harveys Department Stores chain in September 1988, renaming the stores as Peebles.[1]
In 1998, Peebles purchased Watson's, a similar chain, later renaming all the Watson's stores as Peebles.
Houston-based Stage Stores purchased Peebles for $167 million in cash and $46.9 million in debt in 2003.[2][3]
