Lowes Menswear, also currently known as Lowes Manhattan Pty Ltd[1] is a private, family-owned leading Australian menswear and retail chain established in 1898 by William Lowe.

History edit

Operations edit

As of January 2017, the Lowes chain employed 1900 employees and includes 206 shop locations across all Australian states and mainland territories; this is a 13% increase from the 181 stores in the chain in 2012. The largest of the chain's stores is in Bankstown.[6]
[7]

The three main shops in New South Wales include Westfield Miranda, Bankstown and MacArthur. Lowes’ head office and warehouse is located in Arncliffe.[8]

Advertising edit

Lowes is known for their use of rugby league personalities in their commercials, most notably Ray Warren, Peter Sterling, Phil Gould, Wally Lewis, Paul Harragon, Matthew Johns, Andrew Johns, Ben Elias, Steve Roach, Ray Hadley, Paul Sironen, Paul Vautin, and Darryl Brohman. These television ads proclaiming you get good priced, quality clothing “at Lowes” became famous in Sydney during the 1980s and 1990s.[9]

Future edit

Hans Mueller died in December 2016. His son, Jeffery Mueller, and daughter, Linda Penn, are now directors of Lowes.[10]
