...such stores as Macy's, Sears and Target. Supreme has lived up to its name in the 1990s: revenues have increased more than tenfold, to an estimated $220 million this year. The company has been on an acquisition binge. Even better, Supreme continues to roll merrily along as though dark clouds were not gathering over the economies of half the world...
