Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Avenue Stores began in 1983 and became a familiar name through The Avenue, a retailer with a distinctive place in women’s specialty fashion. Its history includes a 1992 public offering, several changes in ownership, and the 2019 closure of its physical stores as online retail continued. This heavy knit quarter-zip sweatshirt connects a classic apparel form with that lasting retail story. It is suited to collectors and former shoppers who remember the Avenue name and its national presence.
Avenue Stores LLC was a United States specialty retailer offering plus-size clothing, shoes, and accessories for women. Its stores operated under The Avenue name, and the business also included the Loralette and Cloudwalkers brands. The company began in 1983, when Limited Brands combined Lerner Woman and Sizes Unlimited under United Retail Group, based in New Rochelle, New Jersey. United Retail Group held an initial public offering in 1992. Avenue was acquired in 2007 by Redcats USA, whose parent company was French fashion group Kerig. After United Retail Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2012, Philadelphia-based Versa Capital Management acquired the business. Mark Walsh became CEO in May 2018, succeeding Liz Williams. Avenue filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy again on August 9, 2019, and planned to sell its e-commerce business while closing its physical stores. By 2019, it had operated 222 stores in 33 states; the stores closed that year, while online retail continued. In October 2019, City Chic Collective acquired the e-commerce assets. FullBeauty Brands acquired Avenue from City Chic in June 2024.
