Forman Mills accelerates growth with the Kalibrate Location Intelligence platform

DALLAS, TEXAS (December 9, 2025) – Kalibrate, a leader in location intelligence software and analytics, today announced a strategic partnership with Forman Mills, the value apparel and home goods retailer, to support its national expansion strategy across the United States.

Forman Mills, headquartered in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, currently operates 76 stores across 12 states. Over recent months, Forman Mills has also acquired key lease portfolios from Big Lots as part of its growth strategy, positioning it for further expansion into markets including New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.

“As we map out the next leg of our national expansion, we recognize the critical importance of making each location decision based on data and analytics,” said Ryan Solleder, Chief Operating Officer at Forman Mills. “Kalibrate’s top-tier analytical capabilities and software enable us to scale with confidence and precision. They were the obvious choice to help us make smarter, more informed growth decisions.”

Under the new agreement, Kalibrate will deploy a comprehensive revenue forecasting model and whitespace analysis across both the Forman Mills and Shoppers World banners to identify national growth opportunities. The model incorporates customer profiling, competitive assessment, and store-level performance forecasting, while enabling the entire organization to view key location data through a centralized lens within the Kalibrate Location Intelligence platform.

“We are proud to support the Forman Mills team as they continue their next stage of growth,” said Stephen Polanski, Global Director of Business Development for Kalibrate. “Our goal is to equip their team with insights into what drives a successful location, markets that present strong growth potential, and data that maximizes performance across their entire footprint.”

As Forman Mills continues to expand, the company remains focused on growing its store network to reach more communities across the country. The retailer’s ongoing mission is to provide shoppers with exceptional value — offering brand-name clothing and home furnishings at over 80% off department store prices.

By partnering with Kalibrate, Forman Mills underscores its commitment to combining affordability with data-driven precision, ensuring that every new store brings its signature savings to even more customers nationwide.
