J. Jill offers clothing tailored for a mature woman who wants comfort and fashion.
The company was founded by Karl Lipsky in 1955. He named his company after his wife Jennifer and his daughter Jill.
Clothing was initially sold via a mail-order catalog, abandoned in 2018 for online sales.
The company went public on the NYSE in March 2017 under the ticker symbol JILL.
In May 2020, during the Covid pandemic, J.Jill donated $50,000 to First Responders First, through its J.Jill Compassion Fund, and launched a campaign for National Nurses Month, offering a shopping voucher for its newest collection to nurses, first responders, and healthcare workers.
J. Jill stock was down more than 50 percent in 2019 but turned itself around in 2022 when the stock took a big gain.
Many attribute this gain in stock to interim CEO Jim Scully.
J. Jill maintains a corporate office in Quincy, Massachusetts.
