Information On My Favorite Retailer: Express


Since I have made it clear that my favorite retailer is Express, I am going to talk a little bit about its history. Express started almost thirty years ago as an experiment. Express started in 1980 as an experiment along with eight other stores called Limited Express. This is now called Limited Brands. Express had so many opportunities in front of it and they took them.

There are more than 550 stores across the United States as well as a website online to shop from. The CEO and President of Express right now is Michael Weiss. They bring in more than 1.8 billion dollars in sales.

In 2007, Express finally became and independent and privately held company.They were bought by the Golden Gate Capital in San Francisco. This is a great opportunity for Express to grow even larger than they are today.
