History
Mr Burt was established as a fashionable menswear retail chain by Burton in 1971 aimed at young male consumers. After their success with catering to the young female fashion market with Top Shop the company positioned Mr Burt to do the same for young men. Unfortunately it was not profitable and the stores were closed in about 1975.
