Claires was founded in the 1960s with the merging of 2 fashion accessory retailers in Chicago, US, and by 1992 we had over 1,000 stores in the US. Fashion proves to have no borders, as our amazing growth has continued with stores in over 47 countries globally and continued growth internationally. Today, Claires has over 3,000 stores and we are the number 1 ear piercer in the world, piercing on average 3 million ears a year – fulfilling our mission to be the preferred global destination for fun fashion accessories. So take a moment to find out more about us. We are confident that you ll understand why we truly love what we do at Claires. We believe Claires represents a Girls Best Friend and a favorite shopping destination for teens, tweens, and kids. Claires target customer is a girl between 3-18 years old with a particular focus on a core demographic of girls between 10-14 years old. According to our estimates, we have over 95% brand awareness within this target demographic in our largest markets. Claires now has a presence in 47 countries through the 2,720 company operated Claires stores in North America, Europe and China, and 414 franchised stores in numerous other international geographies. Our Icing brand targets a young woman in the 18-35 year age group with a focus on our core 21-25 year olds who have recently entered the workforce. This customer is independent, fashion-conscious, and has enhanced spending ability. We believe that expansion of our Icing store base both in existing and new markets over time presents a significant opportunity to leverage our core merchandising, sourcing and marketing expertise to cater to a wider demographic.
How does a single store in Omaha, Nebraska, become one of the largest jewelry stores in the nation? By never forgetting our history. It began 150 years ago, when Louis Borsheim had a vision to help others celebrate special occasions with fine jewelry, watches and gifts. In 1947, Louis Friedman bought the business and operated it with his son Ike. While Louis and Ike Friedman kept the Borsheims name, they ushered in a new era of success for the jewelry store. Ike, a dynamic businessman, developed the business philosophy that still guides our company today: offer an extensive inventory and exceptional customer service at the most competitive prices. It was an approach that worked, leading Borsheims to outgrow our downtown facility and move to the anchor position in Regency Court mall in 1986. In 1989, renowned investor Warren Buffett purchased a majority stake of Borsheims, making it part of his famous holding company, Berkshire Hathaway. Borsheims continues to grow today under the leadership of President and CEO Karen Goracke. Our location in Omaha`s Regency district is more than 62,500 square feet and includes private viewing spaces, large watch department, gift gallery, full-service jewelry repair and design shop, and an expansive jewelry showroom that is unlike any other in the country. Mission Statement: We are privileged to share in the special moments of our customers` lives. We will treat each opportunity with the respect and importance it deserves by providing exceptional customer service. Standards of Performance: Respect • Customer Orientation • Support Initiative • Team Player • Credibility

Since 1860, TAG Heuer has been successfully pairing contrasting concepts - tradition and innovation, prestige and performance, sport and glamour. In fact, TAG Heuer has written some of the most important chapters in the history of Swiss watchmaking with its oscillating pinion in the Microtimer (the first bracelet chronograph accurate to 1/1000th of a second), the Monaco V4 Concept Watch and the Carrera Calibre 360 (the first mechanical movement to show 1/1000th of a second). In 1999 TAG Heuer joined the LVMH Group, the world leader in luxury goods. Thanks to the infinite creativity and expertise of its teams, TAG Heuer is still pushing back the boundaries of watchmaking. Its achievements have been widely recognised by both watchmaking and industry innovation experts, and in the last ten years TAG Heuer is one of the only Swiss watchmakers to have regularly won awards. While resolutely forward-looking, heritage and tradition are still at the heart of what TAG Heuer does. Handed down through the generations, its values and watchmaking expertise have made TAG Heuer the timeless and audacious brand that it is. These values have resulted in its unique style which showcases its watchmaking expertise while embodying excellence, leadership, accuracy and passion. Léonardo DiCaprio, Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Maria Sharapova and Cameron Diaz have all joined TAG Heuer and all share a steadfast determination to be the very best at what they do...just like our employees.
