Charlotte Russe is a chain store in the United States that is mainly dedicated to selling women's clothing and accessories. Based in San Diego, California, the company is led by Bernie Zeichner.

[edit] History

The first Charlotte Russe store was opened in 1975, at Carlsbad, California. The store was dedicated to selling clothes for women between the ages of 15 to 35.

The Charlotte Russe company did not see big growth until 21 years later, when it was bought, in September of 1996, by Sanders, Karp and Megue. The new owners had an ambitious plan of expansion for Charlotte Russe, and the company eventually became a chain of shopping mall outlets. In 1997, RAMPAGE, another women's clothing store chain, was bought over, and by 1998, 29 Charlotte Russe stores had been opened in malls across the States. RAMPAGE continued to operate under their own name, but being a property of Charlotte Russe.

By 2004, Charlotte Russe counted with 256 stores across the United States and RAMPAGE had 50 stores. The stores had also branched out somewhat, selling a limited amount of men's apparel on some of the stores.
