Drapersreports that girl's accessories retailer Claire's plans to significantly expand its store presence in Europe.
Noting that Claire's opened 25 stores in Europe during the last year, Wilson said: "We're going to open significantly more in the next year." In order to expedite this, Wilson also plans to beef up the company's executive base and will be looking for management with "pan-European expertise."
Most of Claire's stores in Europe are in the UK and France.
