Destination XL Group (NASDAQ:DXLG) (NASDAQ: DXLG) is a specialty retailer focused on big and tall men’s apparel in the United States. Through its flagship DXL stores and digital platform, the company offers an extensive assortment of casualwear, business attire, activewear, outerwear, footwear and accessories designed to accommodate sizes that are often underserved by traditional retailers. By combining in-store personalized styling services with an e-commerce presence, Destination XL Group aims to deliver a one-stop shopping experience for men seeking both fit and fashion in extended sizes.
The company’s merchandise mix includes premium national brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, alongside private-label offerings developed under the DXL and Double RL brands. In-store shop-in-shop concepts and dedicated brand galleries enable customers to browse curated assortments, while proprietary inventory management systems help ensure that the right sizes and styles are available across the store network and online. Additionally, Destination XL Group has invested in digital fit-assist tools and virtual styling consultations to enhance convenience and drive customer loyalty.
Founded in 1976 as a family-owned retailer in Massachusetts, Destination XL Group has grown through strategic acquisitions and rebranding initiatives. The addition of Casual Male XL in 2019 and the earlier acquisition of Rochester Big & Tall strengthened its footprint in key markets, while a public listing in 2004 provided capital for expansion. Over the years, the company has refined its merchandising strategy, leveraging data analytics to optimize assortments and streamline supply-chain operations in support of omnichannel growth.
Headquartered in Canton, Massachusetts, Destination XL Group operates over 300 physical stores across the continental U.S. and markets its products online to customers nationwide (with select international shipping). Under the leadership of President and CEO Harvey Kanter, the management team continues to prioritize store productivity, digital engagement and inventory efficiency as it serves a demographic that traditionally lacks one-stop retail solutions for larger sizes. The company remains committed to expanding its footprint and enhancing its value proposition to big and tall men seeking style, comfort and fit.
