Christopher & Banks and CJ Banks Celebrate 1st Anniversary of New Prototype Store Showcasing Both Brands Under One Roof


MINNEAPOLIS, Aug 03, 2010 -- Christopher & Banks Corporation proudly celebrates the 1st Anniversary of their prototype dual store at the Shoppes at Montage in Moosic, PA on August 6, 7 and 8th.

Christopher and Banks listened to customer feedback when designing this new store. Focus groups had uncovered that mothers, daughters, sisters and friends all wanted to shop together regardless of their individual size. "We are focused on the total customer experience. Missy, petite and plus customers each have their own department and associates that understand their individual size needs and treat each customer as a friend," says Lorna Nagler, President and CEO.

The 5,000-sq. ft. store design provides an environment that mirrors the Christopher & Banks and CJ Banks customers' strong hometown values and provides feminine details that inspire and delight shoppers. Warm wood finishes, furniture-inspired displays, feminine fabrics and artful merchandising displays create a sense of escape without leaving the real world behind.

Both Christopher & Banks and CJ Banks provide collections where the details make the difference from exclusive prints to unique buttons and hand-finished stitching. These exclusively designed collections are classic, unique, casual and comfortable, all balanced with quality at an exceptional value. Customers are treated to personal customer service and known by name, are called when their favorite styles arrive and treated like a friend.
