Spanx Opens First Retail Store

It took three months to perfect the lighting in the dressing rooms, but the first Spanx retail store opened its doors in Tysons Corner, Va. last Friday. The 14-year-old company, which specializes in shapewear, has become a staple of women's wardrobes in recent years. Many of the company's 200 pieces are sold at department stores such as Nordstrom and Lord & Taylor.
