Ed Thomas, Tilly’s President and CEO commented, “We believe the highly uncertain and inflationary economic environment continues to have a detrimental impact on our pre-teen, teen, and young adult customer demographic. While we believe our product assortments are trend right, the impact of inflation and potential recessionary concerns remain a risk to our business over the near term.”
