10/04/2008
A decision from its parent company means Famous Footwear will move its headquarters from Madison, Wisconsin after almost 50 years there.
Corporate parent Brown Shoe Company Inc. wants to move the brand´s operations to St. Louis so that it can be part of a "more connected company".
Brown Shoe says the 270 Madison-based employees will be offered jobs and relocation assistance. Those who do not want to relocate will be given severance packages.
Famous Footwear has more than 1,000 stores across the US.
