About Us
Just Jeans opened its first store in Chapel Street, Prahran (Melbourne) in December 1970. The business has grown dramatically since that time, through the acquisition and growth of brands across Australia and New Zealand and, in more recent times, the expansion of Jay Jays into South Africa.
In 2004 we changed our name to The Just Group to reflect our expanded portfolio of brands. Today we have 7 brands; Just Jeans, Jacqui E, Jay Jays, Portmans, Peter Alexander, Dotti, and Smiggle. We operate over 850 stores and have almost 6,000 employees.
With our first stores poised to open in the United States in early 2008, we are an international fashion retailer with an exciting agenda for growth and a proven ability to deliver results.
