In 1901 James Cloppenburg opened the company's first store in Berlin, and started with catalogue selling 6 years later. In the Second World War none of the stores set up over the years survived. Following the war new stores were built and P&C starts a large expansion phase. Today, P&C is an international chain of fashion department stores.
