History of The Limited

She worked for the Lazarus department store chain after spending over 20 years with Lazarus in 1951 she and her husband Harry Wexner opened a women’s clothing store named Leslie’s after their son. This was the training ground for the start up of the now store which is “The Limited.”

Leslie Wexner borrowed $5,000 from his aunt and $5,000 from the bank and opened a store in the Kings dale Shopping Center in Upper Arlington. This store focused on clothing for younger women, which was not like his parents’ general merchandise store. In 1964 Bella and Harry closed their stores to join their son in his venture. In the 1980’s they started a string of acquisitions that help them to add many brand name products to their store. They have an online ecommerce business plus many stores located inside of malls.
