In 1983, Marvin and Helene Gralnick began selling Mexican folk art and cotton sweaters in a small store on Sanibel Island, Florida. Their exceptional service and one-of-a-kind styles connected with customers in a unique way – and Chico’s was born. Chico’s primarily sells exclusively designed, private branded clothing and has served women - millions of women - with a high level of customer service, offering styles that yield a wardrobe that is fashionable, unique, relaxed, figure-flattering, and comfortable.
Today, Chico’s is a hugely successful specialty retailer with more than 590 frontline boutiques and over 70 outlets in 48 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Chico’s also publishes a popular catalog about once a month and offers round-the-clock shopping at www.chicos.com. Chico’s is part of the Chico’s FAS, Inc. family of brands, which also includes White House | Black Market, Soma Intimates, and Boston Proper.
