WARRENDALE, Pa., Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- rue21, a leading fast fashion retailer, is continuing its aggressive expansion of Plus into 61 additional stores during the first quarter of 2020, bringing the total number of stores with Plus to 318 by the end of the first quarter of 2020. 

In making today's announcement, Michael C. Appel, rue21 Chief Executive Officer, said, "As a leader in on-trend fashion at affordable prices, we have made the decision to strategically and aggressively expand rue21's collection of Plus size clothes for teen girls and young women. Plus is a 'white space' opportunity for rue21 because few retailers offer on-trend fashion at great prices in the full range of sizes."
