The History of Victoria's Secret
By Londonlady
Who is Victoria's Secret?
They are THE leading retailer of lingerie and intimate apparel, with more than 1,000 locations across the United States. And more recently, some in Canada.
A Brief History
We've all heard of the poor guy Roy Raymond, who just wanted to get his wife some lingerie, hated shopping in lingerie stores because they were awkward for men, started his own company, then jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge.
Most likely, we don't know, that the company was started in the 1970's and was originally designed as a place for men to shop in a comfortable Victorian boudoir essence. (That means...it was designed to basically look like you walk into a closet to shop, and the stores today still maintain some of that original appeal.) In 1982 Limited Brands acquired the thriving company. (Not without some controversy, of course, to uphold the definition of business.)
Today the company is doing very well and continues to be the top seller of lingerie in the world with almost 5000 million USD in sales.

Ok where is the video with the models? Hi LL-- Did you know that they are going to open their first store outside North America in Kuwait? Don't you think that will just make Iraq want to invade again? =:)
