Established in 1956 by cousins Louis and Shaol Pozez, Payless was a privately held company owned by Blum Capital, and Golden Gate Capital. In 1961, it became a public company as the Volume Shoe Corporation which merged with The May Department Stores Company in 1979.

The company exited the American market when it closed the last of its 2,000-plus stores in June 2019. While the chain, which was founded in 1956, hoped to once again have a footprint in the United States, its business remained alive in international markets. Payless currently has more than 700 international stores.

HOUSTON – Payless is back. The shoe retailer, which has formally dropped the name “Shoesource” from its brand name, announced in a press release Tuesday that it is opening new online retail options and new brick-and-mortar locations.

What is a slogan? A slogan is an attention-grabbing statement used to advertise or promote a brand's products and services. These phrases share the company's reason for existing and overall mission to the public. Companies use slogans to tell their consumers what they want them to associate their brand with.

Together with your logo, your business slogan is a key part of your branding that makes your product or service recognizable. The best slogans will make everything about your products a welcome advertisement, reminding your customers of the good experiences they have had with your products and your service.

Etymology. The word slogan is derived from slogorn which was an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic and Irish sluagh-ghairm (sluagh 'army', 'host' and gairm 'cry'). Slogans vary from the written and the visual to the chanted and the vulgar.

A logo can be described as images, text or shapes that work to visually represent a business. A slogan however, is a series of words that summarise the purpose of a brand or to contextualise the personality of a brand.

A slogan is a motto that is enduring and tied to a group, representing their purpose or ideals. The goal of a slogan is to convince a target audience to buy a product or service, or believe in something. Companies use slogans as a way to allow customers to identify their brand.
