Based in New York City, WHP owns a number of brands, including Anne Klein, Isaac Mizrahi, Toys R Us and Babies R Us.

WHP Global, the firm that owns a controlling stake in Toys R Us, has invested in Express in order to expand the firm’s product lines into new categories and geographies. I’m bullish on this partnership for WHP Global as the Express brand name still means something and there is likely a lot of money to be made here if this is done right.
