Organization and
Structure
Stores in
this industry offered a vast selection within limited product lines and
therefore were considered specialty retailers. Traditionally, these businesses
were small independently owned shops that provided distinctive merchandise and
superior customer service, often at premium prices. During the 2000s however,
the Girlish Wear experienced structural changes that paralleled changes in the
retailing industry as a whole with small traditional retailers being replaced
by larger chains that emphasized value and convenience.
Store size
was a contributing factor to a retailer's overall profitability. The size of
Girlish Wear tended to be smaller than many other retail outlets. Although the
size of larger chain stores in the industry averaged approximately 3,000 square
feet of sales space, most accessory stores were smaller than 1,000 square feet.
Accessory stores enjoyed relatively low overhead costs due to small store size
and the low cost of goods. In fact, Claire's Stores, Inc., one of the larger
retail chains, reported that new stores required an initial investment of only
$85,000 for leasehold improvements and fixtures and $20,000 for inventory.
Store
location often determined store size. Girlish Wear, especially fur stores, were deliberately positioned in classy. The location of
these boutiques in high-rent urban areas often encouraged the small store
format. In contrast, chain stores were frequently situated in suburban shopping
malls, where larger store size was financially feasible. Store size increased
in the 1990s as businesses in this industry followed consumers out of the
cities into suburban malls and shopping centers.
Although
Girlish Wear were moving out of trendy, expensive
areas, stores were designed to accommodate the fashion and status-conscious
shopper. Consumers shopping at these specialty stores were interested in unique
versions of basic products. With the exception of furs, the products offered by
accessory stores, such as lingerie, hosiery, and handbags, were not particularly
expensive and were readily available at department and variety stores. A
specialty accessory store, however, offered the consumer distinctive
merchandise in a stylish shopping atmosphere.
