There are 908 Justice stores and a potential for the chain to grow to as many as roughly 1,000 stores, said James McCusker, spokesman for Dress Barn.
Last week, Dress Barn announced that it would buy Tween Brands, the owner of Justice stores.
Justice has stores at Brea Mall, South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Bella Terra in Huntington Beach, Mercantile East in Ladera Ranch, La Habra Westridge Plaza, The Shops at Mission Viejo, Fashion Island in Newport Beach, Westfield MainPlace in Santa Ana, The District at Tustin Legacy, The Market Place in Tustin and Westminster Mall, according to its Web site. It’s unknown if Justice will add more stores in Orange County.
Last year, Tween Brands said that most Limited Too stores would be converted into lower-priced Justice stores. Both Justice and Limited Too sell clothing to girls 7 to 14 years old. However, Justice is priced on average about 20 to 25 percent lower than Limited Too, which was established in 1987. The conversion was an effort to drive growth and profitability.
