Good question. I think Cotton on's strength is to sell good quality at reasonable price. They do well when customers can directly compare their products (like in malls) ... and they have a quite low cost overhead.

Not sure, whether taking over PPL's store chain would help in that regard ... expensive long term leases for shops in often not that desirable locations. Might have been quite different 5 years ago, when customers still used to frequent the stores ... but now the PPL stores are off the grid, people are just not used anymore to direct their vehicles into their parking lots ...
