C&A
 PROFILE
C&A targets mark-minders in Berlin, peseta-pinchers in Madrid, and guilder-guarders in Amsterdam. The company sells moderately priced apparel from about 550 stores in 12 countries in Europe, including Spain, the Netherlands, and Germany, its biggest base. C&A's in-house brands include Clockhouse, Jinglers, and Your 6th Sense. After trying to walk the tightrope between chic and cheap, the company is pulling out of the UK, leaving more than 100 stores empty. The extremely reclusive Brenninkmeijer family owns the company. Brenninkmeijer men hold nearly all the top positions within the 400-year-old business, and finances and sensitive reports are often communicated in secret code.
