Piercing Pagoda, Inc.
 PROFILE
Piercing Pagoda will pierce these, but not those -- and please don't even "ask" about "that". Through about 950 stores (mostly mall kiosks) in the US and Puerto Rico, the company offers inexpensive 14-karat and 10-karat gold earrings, charms, chains, rings, and bracelets, as well as some silver and gemstone jewelry. For free, its stores will pierce ears -- and only ears -- with the purchase of earrings. The stores operate mostly under the Piercing Pagoda, Plumb Gold, Diamond Isle, and Silver & Gold Connection names. Piercing Pagoda has grown through the acquisitions of several rival kiosk operators. Jewelry retailer Zale Corporation owns about 95% of the company.
