The name Lane Bryant came about through a typo that was made in 1904 when Lena Bryant applied for a business loan at Oriental Bank. This was at a time when she was first starting up her business located on Fifth Avenue. Before this time Bryant had worked as a seamstress and had made money making lingerie for pregnant women and new brides. In 1914, after the company incorporated,more Lane Bryant stores were opened in cities such as Chicago, Detroit and Brooklyn. In 1982 Lane Bryant was sold to The Limited Stores inc., whom then sold the company to to Charming Shoppes, Inc in 2001. Charming Shoppes also operates other plus size clothing stores such as Fashion Bug and Catherine's Plus Size.http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Lane-Bryant-Inc-Company-History.htmlhttp://www.charmingshoppes.com/aboutus/brands/brand_index.asp
