Claires Stores Inc

Founded in 1961 by Rowland Schaefer in Amarillo, TX as "Rowlands", the company was one of the first fashion accessory chains in America. In 1974, the company changed its name to Claires after Claire's Boutiques International Ltd., a British chain started by Rowland’s son-in-law Aldo Bensadoun. With strong growth over ensuing decades, Claires opened up hundreds of stores throughout North American and Europe. Today Claires has over 2200 stores across 33 countries within North America, Europe and Asia Pacific under its four banners: CLAIRE'S®, Icing®, Ultra Diamonds® and Plaza Sésamo® (Mexico).
