JOURNEYS – OVERVIEW
Journeys is a destination retailer for footwear and accessories for teens ages 13 to 22. Wide-eyed, optimistic, fearless, hip and diverse teens go to Journeys for the coolest brands: Converse, Timberland, Etnies, DC, Puma and more. With more than 700 stores across America, Journeys is the destination for those who walk, run, hang, surf, skate, grind and ride to their own beat.
Journeys is part of a larger, publicly traded company - Genesco, Inc. Genesco has an 80-year history in the footwear industry.
Genesco Inc., a Nashville-based specialty retailer, sells footwear, headwear and accessories in more than 1,700 retail stores in the United States and Canada, principally under the names Journeys, Journeys Kidz, Underground Station, Johnston & Murphy, Hatworld, Lids, Hat Zone, Cap Factory, Head Quarters, and Cap Connection, and on internet websites journeys.com, johnstonmurphy.com, lids.com, hatworld.com, and lidscyo.com. The Company also sells footwear at wholesale under its Johnston & Murphy brand and under the licensed Dockers and Perry Ellis brands.
Journeys Kidz, a one of a kind footwear retail concept targeting the "tween" customer ages 8 to 12, opened it doors on February 10, 2001 in Nashville, Tennessee.
Journeys Kidz is an exciting extension of Genesco's highly successful Journeys stores concept, one of the nation's hottest teen and young adult footwear retail destinations. The store offers the same popular footwear brands offered in a Journeys store, but in a more parent/child friendly environment. Aisles have been widened, displays are smaller in scale and are positioned lower, and the store's music videos and visual merchandising are geared to the younger customer. In fact, Playstation 2 terminals featuring exciting new video games for kids to demo for free are part of the Journeys Kidz shopping experience.
Journeys Kidz was an unparalleled selection of footwear brands including Skechers, DC, Candie's, Nike, Converse, Timberland, Dr. Martens, K-Swiss and others. Journeys Kidz also carries t-shirts and accessories.
Journeys Kidz now has more than 37 locations across the United States.
