THE PACESETTER: Appar-el retailer Forever 21 Inc. tops the list of the largest minority-owned businesses in Los Angeles County. The L.A.-based company had nearly $4 billion in revenue for 2012. Forever 21 started in 1984 in 900 square feet of space on Figueroa Street. Since then, the company, co-founded by South Korean emigrants Do Won “Don” Chang and his wife, Jin Sook Chang, has grown exponentially. Now, Forever 21 is expanding with bigger stores in new locations as it grows from a boutique retailer to a company that can operate like a raditional department store chain. Some locations are larger than 40,000 square feet. It opened an 85,000-square-foot store in Cerritos in 2010. The larger stores have separate areas for different clothing items and brands. Those brands include six that were created by the company. In addition to its Forever 21 brand, it has dedicated lines for men, plus-size women and a women’s vintage brand.
