 PROFILE
With apologies to Ed Sullivan, Payless ShoeSource is a really big shoe. The company is the nation's #1 shoe retailer, with some 4,600 self-service discount stores, mostly in the US, but also in Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the US Virgin Islands. More than 15% of its stores include areas dedicated solely to kids - these use the Payless Kids name. Payless offers dress, athletic, and casual shoes; slippers; boots; and sandals for men, women, and kids. It primarily targets women between the ages of 18 and 64. Each store stocks more than 8,200 pairs of shoes in 500 styles. Payless is closing some of its 260 Parade mid-priced women's shoe stores and converting the rest into Payless stores to cut costs.
