on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to statements relating to the Company&rsquo;s
forecasts regarding comparable retail sales and adjusted net income or net loss per diluted share. Forward-looking statements typically
are identified by use of terms such as &ldquo;may,&rdquo; &ldquo;will,&rdquo; &ldquo;should,&rdquo; &ldquo;plan,&rdquo; &ldquo;project,&rdquo;
&ldquo;expect,&rdquo; &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; &ldquo;estimate&rdquo; and similar words, although some forward-looking statements
are expressed differently.</I> <I>These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company's current expectations and assumptions
and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially. Some of
these risks and uncertainties are described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in
the &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; section of its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016. Included among
the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially are the risk that the Company
will be unsuccessful in gauging fashion trends and changing consumer preferences, the risks resulting from the highly competitive
nature of the Company&rsquo;s business and its dependence on consumer spending patterns, which may be affected by the economic
factors that continue to affect the Company&rsquo;s target customer, the risk that the Company&rsquo;s strategic initiatives to
increase sales and margin are delayed or do not result in anticipated improvements, the risk that the cost of raw materials or
energy prices will increase beyond current expectations or that the Company is unable to offset cost increases through value engineering
or price increases, and the uncertainty of weather patterns. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions
to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events. </I></P>

Place, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCE),</B> the largest pure-play children&rsquo;s specialty apparel retailer in North America, today announced

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Jane Elfers, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, &ldquo;For
the first quarter, we delivered adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.32, compared to $0.83 in the first quarter of 2015, a
59% increase. Comparable retail sales were positive 5.1%, on top of a positive 0.7% comp in the first quarter of 2015. Comparable
retail sales were positive in all three months of the quarter and were also positive across all divisions and channels. We increased
adjusted gross margin by 170 basis points, leveraged adjusted SG&amp;A by 140 basis points and increased adjusted operating margin
by 280 basis points. Our inventories were down 11% at quarter-end, on top of an 8% decrease in the first quarter of 2015 and we
returned $47 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Elfers continued, &ldquo;We are raising our guidance for the
full year, despite the challenging environment and continued weakness in store traffic. This guidance assumes a low single digit
comp sales increase, expansion of gross margin and disciplined expense control.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Elfers concluded, &ldquo;These strong results further demonstrate
our ability to deliver on our multi-pronged transformation strategy - superior product, business transformation through technology,
global growth through alternate channels of distribution and store fleet optimization. These growth initiatives are led by a best
in class management team and supported by a foundation of operational excellence.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Net sales increased 3.6% to $419.4 million in the first quarter

constant currency basis, net sales were $421.6 million, a 4.1% increase, compared to net sales of $404.9 million in the first quarter

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Net income was $26.0 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, in

expenses which were partially offset by increased incentive compensation expenses.</P>

certain forward-looking statements regarding future circumstances, including statements relating to the Company&rsquo;s strategic
initiatives and adjusted net income per diluted share. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company's current expectations
and assumptions and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially.
Some of these risks and uncertainties are described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
in the &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; section of its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016. Included
among the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially are the risk that the Company
will be unsuccessful in gauging fashion trends and changing consumer preferences, the risks resulting from the highly competitive
nature of the Company&rsquo;s business and its dependence on consumer spending patterns, which may be affected by the weakness
in the economy that continues to affect the Company&rsquo;s target customer, the risk that the Company&rsquo;s strategic initiatives
to increase sales and margin are delayed or do not result in anticipated improvements, the risk that the cost of raw materials
or energy prices will increase beyond current expectations or that the Company is unable to offset cost increases through value
engineering or price increases, and the uncertainty of weather patterns. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly
any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><I>This press release may contain certain forward-looking statements
regarding future circumstances, including statements relating to the Company&rsquo;s strategic initiatives and adjusted net income
per diluted share. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company's current expectations and assumptions and are subject
to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially. Some of these risks and
uncertainties are described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the &ldquo;Risk
Factors&rdquo; section of its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016. Included among the risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially are the risk that the Company will be unsuccessful
in gauging fashion trends and changing consumer preferences, the risks resulting from the highly competitive nature of the Company&rsquo;s
business and its dependence on consumer spending patterns, which may be affected by the weakness in the economy that continues
to affect the Company&rsquo;s target customer, the risk that the Company&rsquo;s strategic initiatives to increase sales and margin
are delayed or do not result in anticipated improvements, the risk that the cost of raw materials or energy prices will increase
beyond current expectations or that the Company is unable to offset cost increases through value engineering or price increases,
and the uncertainty of weather patterns. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date they were made. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to these
forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence
of unanticipated events. The inclusion of any statement in this release does not constitute an admission by the Company or any
other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material.</I></P>
