Torrid
Torrid, alternative music related apparel and accessories.
Young women wearing sizes 14 to 26 can now match the style, excitement and selection available at other junior retailers with the assortment found in Torrid. Torrid is a new specialty retail concept inspired by staggering amounts of requests from young, female shoppers. After an intense testing cycle and significant amounts of positive feedback, Torrid was born.
"For the past two years, we have been hearing passionate pleas from mall shoppers and our employees for cool plus-size apparel and accessories," said Betsy McLaughlin, CEO and President. "Many people don't realize that the junior mall apparel chains don't carry sizes 14 to 25, so if you want to wear the same hip fashion as your friends, you're out of luck!"
Torrid caters to young women ages 15 to 29 that are part of the fastest-growing market segment in the United States, the plus-size market. The merchandise assortment at Torrid includes apparel, lingerie, shoes and accessories centered around the various lifestyles of young women today. The assortment is 50% private label and 50% well known junior brands like Paris Blues, Dickie, Hot Kiss and others. Providing the edgy appeal that teens are looking for in today's mall is the ever-popular Lip Service and Serious brands also found in sister-store, Hot Topic.

Attleboro, Massachusetts, Westroads Mall, Omaha, Nebraska, Annapolis Mall, Annapolis, Maryland and Southwest Plaza in Littleton, Colorado.
