Catherine's was founded in Memphis, Tennessee in 1960 . The story starts with a single store in Memphis, that was owned by Catherine Weaver. Weaver started the store because of the lack of style in plus size clothing. She wanted plus size women to be able to wear stylish clothes just like smaller size women did. Her concept was a success and lead to more stores being opened in the South. The clothing store chain was known as Catherine's Stout Shoppes at the time. By the 90's Catherine's was incorporated and had a total of 300 stores throughout the United States. On January 7, 2000, Charming Shoppes, Inc. acquired Catherine's Store Corporation. Charming Shoppes, Inc. also owned other plus size brands like Lane Bryant and Fashion Bug. Today there are over 460 Catherine's stores in the United States.http://www.charming.com/aboutus/history/our_history.asp#catherines
