Christopher and Banks is a Minnesota-based retailer that operates through traditional stores, outlets, and an online platform focused on women's apparel. The brand's history traces back to 1956 with Braun’s Fashions in Minneapolis, and it launched the Christopher & Banks banner in 2000 alongside CJ Banks, which targeted sizes 14–24. Headquartered in Plymouth, Minnesota, the company historically built a broad store network and offered Missy, women’s, and petite sizes for everyday wear and special moments. Its customer base comprises adult women seeking affordable, versatile fashion accessible via both brick-and-mortar locations and e-commerce. In recent years the business underwent bankruptcy and restructuring, resulting in office and store closures in multiple locations and a reduced physical footprint.
