Payless ShoeSource announced plans to open an additional office in Dallas, TX. In addition to the Dallas office, select business operations will remain in Topeka, KS and other locations around the world. The company does not intend to eliminate jobs in Topeka, or any other location, in conjunction with opening the Dallas location.

Payless operates a growing e-commerce business, along with approximately 2,750 stores in North America and more than 400 stores in Central and South America and the Caribbean, and Payless franchise partners operate more than 375 stores throughout Asia and Africa. The Dallas location will further enhance and support the company’s expanding global brand, joining a lineup of Payless offices in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, New York, Kansas and Ohio.

Martin R. Wade III, CEO and chairman of the Board, said: “Our customers are our first priority, and that will not change during this transition.”
