January 2007
Description:
After a frustrating day of outlet shopping, rummaging
through bins of disorganized, two-season old designer clothing,
E. Kenneth Seiff knew there must be a better way. The founder
and CEO of Pivot Rules, a leader in golf apparel, recognized
that traditional outlet stores that sold off-price designer
apparel were not offering the type of shopping experience
consumers have come to expect. They were, in fact, reducing
it to a tedious chore. Seiff saw the solution in the Internet,
a significant untapped source for retailing off-price merchandise
apparel and home furnishings. With extensive consumer research,
combined with a sixth sense of emerging new markets and
trends, he saw that the next logical way to offer consumers
off-price designer apparel and home accessories was just
a click away. The time was right to launch the Internet
retail site called Bluefly.com. With the speed of a fly,
the company developed a business plan for launching Bluefly.com
and by June 1998, was in full force developing design concepts
and writing code for the soon-to-be-launched theybsite.
The initial concept, which continues to unfold, remains
today - a lifestyle brand on the Internet that offers consumers
top designer brands in a fun, friendly, smart and stylish
way. As the hardest working summer for the launch team came
to a close, Bluefly.com opened its cyber doors and began
selling brand name designer apparel at significant discount
prices. Today, to translate the successful shopping experience
to the Internet, Bluefly features a dynamic design, superior
customer service, and the most advanced search technology
available through an online apparel store. In addition,
Bluefly.com offers enjoyable fashion features, news-you-can-use
and timely fashion tips. Yet, Bluefly.com didn't just hatch
out of the proverbial blue. Ken has a history of identifying
emerging markets and creating companies to address them,
long before the competition. In fact, Bluefly.com's previous
incarnation was the successful golf apparel company called
Pivot Rules, which broke the mold of stereotypical golf
apparel by designing and marketing a line of golfwear for
the front nine and the back yard. However, with the competitive
retail landscape and a desire to grow beyond the traditional
channels of distribution, Seiff identified the Internet
as a thriving opportunity for his creative and innovative
vision. Today, Bluefly continues to grow and enjoy an exciting
profile as a leader in the e-commerce arena. Through a mix
of growing pains and rapid success, Bluefly.com's key focus
is on the customer, offering the broadest range of designer
products available on the Internet for men, women, and the
home at a significant discount. They also offer competitive
flat-rate shipping and a 90-day return policy.

Charlotte Russe
Web
Site: https://charlotterusse.com/
No longer publically traded.
September 2019 Summary: It filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy on
February 4, 2019.
It was announced on March 2019
that it would be closing all of its remaining stores and would be attempting to
sell the brand's intellectual property.
In April 2019
the company under new ownership has announced on its website that it will reopen
100 retail locations. After the company announced it was closing its stores, the
brand was sold to Toronto-based YM Inc., according a press
release. |
| February 2011 Description:
Charlotte Russe is a growing, mall-based specialty retailer
of fashionable, value-priced apparel and accessories.
They provide exciting, fashion-forward merchandise that
appeals to a broad range of customers, with a core emphasis
on the lifestyle trends of young women in their teens
and twenties. As of January 1, 2010, Charlotte Russe
operated over 500 stores throughout 45 states and Puerto
Rico. |
|
August 2009: Charlotte
Russe Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHIC), a leading mall-based
specialty retailer for young women, announced
August 24, 2009 that it has
entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired and
taken private by investment funds managed by Advent
International Corporation, a leading global private
equity firm with significant expertise in the retail
sector. |
January 2007 Description:
The market created the demand; Charlotte Russe answered
the need. In 1975, a clothing retailer dedicated to affordable
women's clothing was founded, and its first store was opened
in Carlsbad, California. Focused on women ranging from teens
to early twenties, the store offered value-priced merchandise
that followed understandable fashion trends. During the
subsequent 20 years, the Company grew into a 35-store regional
chain concentrated in Southern California generating $70
million of annual sales. In September 1996, Saunders Karp &
Megrue, a private equity investment firm, and Bernie Zeichner
acquired Charlotte Russe from its founders with the intention
of pursuing an accelerated national store expansion program.
The new owners believed that a significant opportunity existed
to leverage the strength of the Charlotte Russe concept
and its new store economics by further penetrating existing
markets and expanding the chain to other regions of the
country. A total of 29 new stores were opened during the
first two years under the new management team. In the ten
years since the ownership change, Charlotte Russe Holding,
Inc. has more than quadrupled its store count, rising to
more than 360 Charlotte Russe stores as of the end of July
2006. Through consistent execution and strong market positioning,
the Company strives to continue to deliver significant revenue
and operating profit growth. |

|
|
January
2007 Description:
Claire's Stores, Inc. is a leading international
specialty retailer offering value-priced costume jewelry,
accessories and cosmetics to fashion-aware tweens, teens
and young adults through its two store concepts: Claire's
(North America and Europe) and Icing by Claire's. In 1961
a predecessor to Claire's named Fashion Tress, Inc. went
public in over the counter trading. In 1973 the name was
changed to FT Industries, Inc. when Chairman Emeritus, Rowland
Schaefer, bought Claire's Boutiques, Inc. which operated
60 stores in the Chicago area. The Company name was changed
to Claire's Stores, Inc. in 1983 and the Common Stock (NYSE:
CLE) was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1985.
The Company traces its beginnings to Rowland Schaefer, who
established Fashion Tress, Inc. a manufacturer of wigs and
accessories distributed worldwide. In the early 1980's,
Mr. Schaefer set new strategic directions by divesting the
business of capital-intensive manufacturing businesses in
favor of the specialty retailing of women's fashion accessories.
International Expansion
Claire's Stores concept translates internationally: a store
that targets teen girls with accessory styles widely promoted
by the media. Claire's first arrived in the United Kingdom
in 1996 and continued its European expansion with Austria,
Switzerland, Germany, France and Ireland. Their expansion
approach for Europe traditionally has been to purchase a
retail chain with existing management infrastructure, local
buying expertise and knowledge of local customs. Claire's
Stores then converts the acquired stores to the Claire's
Stores concept and applies Claire's Stores best practices
in rolling out and operating stores. This year however,
they have begun to open stores in several European countries
without first completing an acquisition. Claire's Stores
strategy has been successful abroad. Store traffic is heavy
and the European stores four wall contribution consistently
exceeds Claire's stores in North America. Their European
stores typically measure 604 square feet (smaller than North
American stores) and ring up more than twice the sales per
square foot than their North American counterparts. As a
result, Claire's plans for expansion in Europe are more
aggressive than in North America. At the end of Fiscal 2006,
which ended January 28, 2006, we operated 772 stores in
Europe. They will open over 100 European stores during Fiscal
2007. The 172 stores they operated in Japan at the end of
Fiscal 2006 are owned by a joint venture in which Claire's
Stores has a 50% interest. The 84 Middle East and 7 South
African stores in operation at the end of Fiscal 2006 are
operated under licensing and merchandising agreements. Additional
arrangements of this type may be employed to further their
international expansion.
