  • CHILDRENS PL RETAIL STORES I Profile

    If The Children's Place Retail Stores had a grandma, she'd proclaim, "My, how fast you've grown!" The clothing retailer operates about 900 Children's Place stores, primarily in malls and outlet centers in the US and Canada, and its store count is increasing by double digits. It also sells apparel online. The Children's Place outfits children from newborn to 12 years old in its own brand of apparel and accessories, most of which is produced by manufacturers in Asia. In 2008 the retailer exited the Disney Stores retail business (30% of sales), which it obtained from The Walt Disney Company in 2004. The company has put itself up for sale following a dispute with Disney and the dismissal of its CEO.
