Exhibit 99.1

CHRISTOPHER & BANKS CORPORATION REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE

THIRTEEN WEEK PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 1, 2015

Minneapolis, MN, September 10, 2015 – Christopher & Banks Corporation (NYSE: CBK), a specialty women’s apparel retailer, today reported results for the thirteen week period ended August 1, 2015.

Results for the Thirteen Week Period Ended August 1, 2015

LuAnn Via, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our disappointing second quarter performance reflects a combination of both macro headwinds, as well as company-specific factors that impacted our business, particularly in late June and in the month of July. While we have taken immediate action in a number of areas to address certain merchandising missteps and have seen trends in the business improve somewhat since July, much of the benefit from these initiatives is expected to drive improved sales for Holiday 2015 and Spring 2016.  With the majority of the store base already converted to MPW’s and Outlets approaching our target number, our

pace of conversions  and new Outlets will slow down as we remain focused on ensuring that our current store base achieves optimal productivity.    At the same time, we continue to make progress on our Customer First initiative, which includes our omni-channel strategy and our Friendship Rewards loyalty program refresh; this represents a significant opportunity and is expected to enhance customer engagement.  Overall, we believe that we are taking the proper steps to drive improved performance and profitability for the long-term.”

Balance Sheet Highlights and Capital Expenditures

Cash, cash-equivalents and investments totaled $34.5 million as of August 1, 2015.  Inventory per square foot, excluding in-transit and eCommerce inventory, increased approximately 2.7% to $17.00 per square foot, as of August 1, 2015, as compared to August 2, 2014.  For the thirteen week period ended August 1, 2015, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and capital expenditures totaled approximately $9.7 million.

Outlook for the 2015 Third Quarter and Fiscal Year

Ms. Via also noted, “As the volatility of the external environment and our recent sales trends has increased, we are limiting our sales, gross margin and SG&A guidance to the current fiscal quarter.”

For the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company currently expects:

For the 2015 fiscal year, the Company now expects:
