Jack Wills is a mid-range British clothing brand aimed at university students. The fashion label uses the brand and registered trademark "Jack Wills – University Outfitters" to reflect the inspiration behind the brand.
The original Jack Wills store opened in Salcombe, Devon in 1999, and has expanded to include 49 stores in the UK and Ireland, three of which are outlet stores. Nine are in London, with the remainder in university towns and seaside resorts. Four stores can be found in Scotland and two in Ireland. Jack Wills' first stores in the US opened in Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and Boston in July 2010.
The brand is partly owned by Jack Wills Ltd, a private limited company registered in the UK, whilst a minority stake is held by the private equity firm Inflexion after an investment deal in 2007.
