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 Claire's.We believe Claire's represents a "Girl's Best Friend" and a favorite shopping destination for teens, tweens, and kids. Claire's 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. Claire's now has a presence in 47 countries through the 2,720 company operated Claire's 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.
