Dolcis Shoes was a shoewear retailer in the United Kingdom. ==History== The company began life on a street barrow in 1863 when John Upson started to sell his shoes on Woolwich Town Market. Business grew, and from the barrow he graduated to his first store in Woolwich called the Great Boot Provider. In 1920 the company went public and the name Dolcis started to appear over the shop doors. It is believed that he lifted the name from a Swiss sock stamp. In 1956, it became part of the British Shoe Corporation〔(Richard Davenport-Hines, ‘Clore, Sir Charles (1904–1979)’ ) ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004〕 and in 1967 was relocated to Leicester. In 1988 Dolcis was chosen by British Shoe Corporation as the pilot company for the installation of EPOS equipment. In 1998 the Dolcis business was bought by the Alexon Group and relocated to Luton. In 2006 Dolcis was sold by Alexon in a deal involving Scottish retail entrepreneur John Kinnaird. Kinnaird unveiled an ambitious plan to refurbish the chain's stores, boost the fashionability of its products and update the brand. Plans were to see 20 shops refitted by the end of 2007, another 20 in the first half of 2008 and the remainder by the end of that year. At the end of 2007, Dolcis had 65 High Street branches across the UK. In addition to these there were also over 150 Dolcis concessions, primarily within ''Bay Trading'' and ''Envy'' stores. In 2007 Dolcis began trading online. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dolcis Shoes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
