Hoover's coverage by Alexandra Biesada

Overview

Genesco's sole concern is nicely capped off, to boot (so to speak). It sells casual and dress shoes and headgear -- primarily for men and boys -- through more than 2,300 footwear and headwear stores in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, the UK, and Ireland. Genesco's shoe operations include Journeys, Underground Station (with Jarman, targeting young urban men), Johnston & Murphy, Schuh, and Licensed Brands (Levi Strauss' Dockers footwear). Its Hat World Group (acquired in 2004) consists of the Hat World, Lids, Hat Shack, Hat Zone, Head Quarters, Cap Connection, and Lids Locker Room retail stores. Founded in 1924 as a shoe retailer, Genesco has diversified by adding hats and apparel.
