History of C&A
C&A was founded in 1841 by brothers Clemens and August Brenninkmeijer in Arnhem, the Netherlands. The company began as a small fabric store catering to the needs of local farmers and villagers. In the early years, C&A faced stiff competition from other fabric stores in the area. However, the company quickly established itself as a leading supplier of quality fabrics and garments.
C&A expanded rapidly throughout Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company opened its first store outside of the Netherlands in Belgium in 1884. By 1900, C&A had stores in Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, and Denmark. The company continued to expand across Europe throughout the first half of the 20th century.
