<div class="licensing-content">Over the last two decades, SKECHERS has grown from a one-style, one-office utility boot business into one of the world’s most sought-after footwear brands. A public company with over two billion dollars in annual sales, SKECHERS is a brand in demand by consumers in all time zones. Unique in its approach, SKECHERS prides itself on its varied product offering, unparalleled marketing support, diverse distribution and exciting stores.
<p>The Company is known around the world for designing and marketing stylish, comfortable footwear at a great value. With more than 3000 styles for men, women and children, SKECHERS is a one-stop shop, offering a look for every occasion and need. The Company has grown its presence through an aggressive and targeted approach to marketing and advertising that includes television commercials, print campaigns, magazine placements and outdoor advertisements.<br>
<br>
With its domestic retail, wholesale, and franchising business moving at full-speed, the Company has exported its business model around the world, successfully developing an international network that includes 10 subsidiaries serving 12 countries, three joint ventures and a network of more than 40 distributors and franchisees. There are now over 550 SKECHERS stores in more than 50 countries across six continents from company-owned locations in iconic destinations like Times Square and London’s Oxford Street, to franchised and licensed stores in countries like Canada, Ireland, Spain and Portugal.<br>
<br>
We continually seek ambitious, experienced international franchisees who share our strategic philosophy and would like to open SKECHERS stores in new and existing markets.
