Claire’s (Hoffman Estates, Ill.) has opened its first store in Mexico, with local partner Exalta. The 1227-square-foot space is in Mexico City’s Plaza Satélite shopping complex and offers jewelry, fashion and hair accessories, toys, tech, cosmetics and more. It also features PIERCED by Claire’s, a private area at the back of the store offering that service.

“Claire’s is a beloved brand with a highly engaged audience, and as we continue to transform into a fashion powerhouse, we are dedicated to constantly expanding upon the places and ways we connect with them,” said Richard Flint, Claire’s President of Europe. “Opening a flagship store in Mexico presents an exciting opportunity to continue building on the brand’s reach through immersive experiences and is just the start of the opportunity we see in this market.”

However, Claire’s did not detail its expansion plans in Mexico. The company, which also operates the Icing retail brand, currently operates 2750 retail stores globally in 17 countries throughout North America and Europe, franchised stores in the Middle East and South Africa and a presence in more than 40 partner retailers worldwide. It also has a presence in the metaverse.

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
