Tween jewelry retailer Claire’s announced it had expanded its partnership with Walmart Tuesday, nearly doubling the number of stores its jewelry and accessories are available in nationwide.
The expansion includes eight Chicago-area Walmart stores in Huntley, Lockport, Oswego, Aurora, Rolling Meadows, Montgomery, Country Club Hills and Homewood. Products will be rolled out at two additional yet-to-be-named locations this fall. Before the expansion, Claire’s products were sold in more than 40 area Walmarts.
Claire’s, the Hoffman Estates-based retail chain known as a popular destination for teenage ear piercings, began its partnership with Walmart in 2018. Claire’s jewelry and accessories are now available in more than 2,500 stores across the U.S., up from about 1,300, the company said.
