• DSW INC Profile

    While you don't have to watch out for trees in this jungle, you may want to watch your back. DSW sells discounted brand-name footwear for men and women through about 260 stores in 35 states, as well as online. In addition to more than 2,000 styles of dress, casual, and athletic shoes, stores offer handbags, hosiery, and accessories. DSW's "Thrill of the Hunt" TV ads features fashionable women eyeing the same pair of shoes, then transitions to them closing in "for the kill." The company is opening new stores at a pace of about 30 per year through 2010. It also operates more than 375 leased departments inside stores operated by other retailers. DSW went public in mid-2005.
