## What We Do

Claire's is a mall-based retailer specializing in jewelry, fashion accessories, and ear piercing aimed primarily at children and teenagers. Founded in 1961, the company has gone through multiple ownership changes and two bankruptcy reorganizations, with its North American business acquired by private equity firm Ames Watson in 2025. It continues to operate roughly a thousand stores after downsizing during its most recent restructuring.
