Behind the scenes of J. Crew

J. Crew started out as a mail-order catalog and then expanded into what it is today. The first store opened in 1989, which ironically was the year I was born! The store opened in New York City. Today there are 206 retail stores. There are also 69 J. Crew outlets. As most retailers do, J. Crew has a website that was created during the year of 1996. The website includes a wide selection of styles and colors.

The current CEO of the company is Millard "Mickey" Drexler. He joined the company in January of 2003. Since he has been the CEO of the company he has set very high standards. J. Crew has nothing but the "finest fabrics, craftsmen and mills from Europe and the US." Drexler has brought new inspiration and creativity to the company. The company's headquarters are in Manhattan. J. Crew has distrbutions centers in Lynchburg, Virgnia and Asheville, NC.
