History
In 1990 Wickney expanded into the United States with only ten stores. By 1992 the number of Wickney stores in the US grew to having 60 stores. In 1993 Wickney closed all 60 of its stores in the US due to increased competition from the then expanding Target and Walmart chains. Wickney's expansion in the US was considered one of the biggest flops in US retail history.

In 2007, Wickney reentered the US market under the name of Wickney America with new stores opened in a three states, New York, Ohio, and Texas. But it still staggering against competition from Target and Walmart.
