In 1983, Marvin and Helene Gralnick began selling Mexican folk art and cotton sweaters in a small store on Sanibel Island, Florida. Their exceptional service and one-of-a-kind styles connected with customers in a unique way – and Chico’s was born. When you walk into any Chico’s store, you can trust the sales staff to help you coordinate, accessorize, and build a signature wardrobe to suit your individual needs.
