With a total of 741 storefronts already and plans to open 85more this year, the company's goal appears just years away. "Wethink we have solid growth potential in all of our concepts,"Andrew Moller, executive vice president and chief financialofficer, said in a presentation to the CIBC World Markets SixthAnnual Consumer Growth Conference here.

The firm is aiming to build its strongest brand, Christopher& Banks, geared to more mature baby boomers, from its current514 stores to more than 600 and double the size of the 199 storesit now operates for larger sizes under the C.J. Banks flag. But thecompany predicts the real growth potential lies in its upstart lineof Acorn stores, geared to more fashion-forward, upscale boomerswith incomes rising well above the $75,000 mark. With just 28stores in 12 states currently, company officials said they see thebrand quickly growing to 300 outlets with the potential forsignificant income.

"Acorn presents a great opportunity for us," said Monica Dahl,executive vice president and chief operating officer, noting thatthe company has plans to bring the concept to Colorado, New Jerseyand Wisconsin.
