About Torrid

Torrid Holdings Inc. is an American women's retail chain formerly owned by Hot Topic. While it is still owned by Sycamore Partners, owners of Hot Topic, in 2015, the company branched off to become Torrid, LLC. The store offers plus-size clothing and accessories for women size 10-30. Torrid began operations in April 2001. The first location opened in the Brea Mall in Brea, California. As of 2024, Torrid has over 650 stores in operation across all states in the United States and some regions of Canada. Torrid opened its first store in 2001, and an international store in Canada (Toronto) in August 2015. In July 2021, the company went public on the New York Stock Exchange, under the symbol CURV. In June 2025, it was announced that Torrid would close 180 of its stores, roughly 30% of its retail footprint. Several factors ultimately prompted Torrid to move forward with this decision, including over half of its retail leases expiring this year, and Q1 2025 reports showed that over 60% of its sales were online.
