Acorn Stores was a chain clothing company in the United States. It was originally part of Michael L. Wallace Inc.[1]

History

In November 2004, Christopher & Banks acquired Acorn from Gilmore Brothers, Inc.[2] As of July 2008, there were 39 Acorn stores in 14 states.

On July 31, 2008, it was announced that every store would be closed by December 31, 2008, as the Acorn division lost more than $4,000,000 in 2008.[3]
