USA: Shoe Pavilion To Walk Away From Gordmans
Hot on the heels of Stride Rite Corp's decision to stop selling through leased space in Federated Department Stores Inc stores comes the announcement that Shoe Pavilion Inc is to pull out of its 38 licensed shoe departments in Gordmans Department Stores. In a statement, Dmitry Beinus, chairman and CEO of Shoe Pavilion, said that the off-price footwear retailers move would be effective June 29, 2002 when the initial term of the license agreement with Gordmans Department Store expires.
