Profile

Citi Trends, Inc.CTRNConsumer Discretionary

Runs a U.S. off-price retail chain focused on trend-right value merchandise for Black families. Stores sell apparel, accessories, beauty, home, lifestyle, and footwear through one company-managed retail segment.

Operates an off-price value retail chain built around apparel, accessories, beauty, home, lifestyle, and footwear for Black families in the United States. Stores sit in urban, suburban, and rural markets and use a common retail process, so management reports the business as one retail segment.

Merchandising centers on trend-right goods at everyday low prices, with good-better-best assortments and branded extreme-value finds added to sharpen the treasure-hunt feel. Women's, children's, men's, accessories and beauty, home and lifestyle, and footwear categories define the store mix.

The business depends on reading fashion trends for value-conscious customers, securing relevant branded and private-label merchandise, and keeping stores easy to shop. Sales and assets are concentrated in the United States.
