Claire's stops mass store closings after getting a second chance

Claire's, the glitter-covered, nostalgia-fueled haven for millions of teens and tweens, has once again been rescued from extinction. 

For generations, it's been more than just a mall store. Claire's became a rite of passage, a cultural staple, and, of course, the site of countless first ear piercings. Known for its affordable, trendy jewelry, colorful hair accessories, and quirky novelties, Claire's helped define adolescence for many.
