Foxmoor Casuals

Foxwood Casuals was founded in 1963, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The then 16-store chain was acquired by the Melville Corporation in late 1968.^[1] By 1982, the chain had expanded greatly to a total of 588 stores with sales of $196 million (~$524 million in 2023), now renamed to Foxmoor Casuals.^[2] In 1984, the chain was sold to the Canadian-based Dylex Limited who paid $49 million (CAD) for the then 614-unit chain.^[3] In January 1990, the chain, operated through Dylex subsidiary Foxmoor Specialty Stores Corp., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, selling 225 stores to the Edison Brothers conglomerate and liquidating the remaining stores.^[4][5] The 225 stores bought by Edison Brothers were quickly converted to other nameplates that year.^[6]
