Schuh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schuh (pronounced 'shoe') is a United Kingdom-based high street and internet footwear retailer. Schuh was established by Sandy Alexander in 1981, with a single shop in North Bridge Arcade, Edinburgh. The company became part of the Glasgow-based Goldbergs retail group, which ceasedng in 1991. Alexander led a management buyout, backed by capital from development agency Scottish Enterprise, to allow Schuh to continue trading. The chain remains independent, and as of February 2008, has 50 stores in the UK and Ireland. Schuh's head office is in Livingston.
"Schuh" is also the literal German translation of the English word "shoe".
Schuh's flagship store opened in 2004 at 200 Oxford Street, London.
