Which code does this activity belong in?
Children's and infants' clothing stores carry a general line of new clothing specifically sized and designed for children and infants, distinguishing them from family clothing stores, which sell apparel across multiple age groups including adults. While basic alterations such as hemming or adjusting seams may be provided, these stores focus primarily on the retail sale of children's and infants' garments rather than accessories or clothing for other demographic segments served by men's, women's, or other specialized clothing retailers.
