DSW Kids makes the shopping experience a family affair. The expansion launches with its own brand DNA, which marries the parent logo with the word KIDS and a punch of orange. These unique in-store sections encourage child-interaction with instructive shoe sizing islands, complete with fun height measuring flag poles. Wider, stroller friendly aisles have been designed to make shopping comfortable for parents and children.
DSW Kids departments are now open coast to coast with multiple locations in California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Ohio, Texas and Washington among many others. For a full list of locations for DSW Kids,visit http://www.dsw.com.
