Lane Bryant Company Description
Lane Bryant is a big name in women's plus-size fashion. The nation's #1 plus-size retail chain operates about 800 full-line stores in about 45 states that offer moderately-priced career and casual clothing (in sizes 14 to 28), accessories, hosiery, and intimate apparel targeted to women ages 35 to 55. Lane Bryant stores are found primarily in malls and average about 5,900 square feet. Women can also shop online at lanebryant.com. As the chain grows, Lane Bryant is moving its stores off the mall to strip shopping centers. Founded in 1904 by Lena Bryant (she misspelled her name on a bank loan), Lane Bryant was once owned by Limited Brands, which sold the chain to Charming Shoppes in 2001.
