Chico's Assistant Manager Audrey Borkowski helps customer Terri Bischoff of Naples pick out an outfit Thursday at Chico's store on Fifth Avenue South. The chain, based in Fort Myers, celebrated 20 years in business Thursday. Chico's opened in 1983 on Sanibel Island, where founders Marvin and Helene Gralnick sold Mexican folk art and cotton sweaters from a small store. The company, now with 543 stores, reported record revenue of $531 million last year. Chico's, which currently is busy with the acquisition of the White House/Black Market chain and the introduction of a lingerie line, plans to issue its report on third-quarter earnings in less than two weeks.
