Genesco Inc.
A footwear company that runs a family of shoe retailers and brands, from the teen-focused Journeys chain and Schuh in the U.K. and Ireland to the Johnston & Murphy brand and licensed footwear like Wrangler. It was founded in Nashville in 1924 as the Jarman Shoe Company and renamed itself in 1959, blending "General" and "Shoe Company" into "Genesco" to signal its growth beyond shoes.
