Foxmoor Casuals (founded as Foxwood Casuals) was a chain of mall-based women's clothing stores in the US, from 1963 until 1990.
Foxwood Casuals was founded in 1963, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The then 16-store chain was acquired by the Melville Shoe Corporation in late 1968.[1] By 1982, the chain had expanded greatly to a total of 588 stores with sales of $196 million (~$ in), 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]
