Foley's just seems Texan to me.

Don't tell people in Colorado that.

I looked at a history of several department store chains and discoverd this:

"1988 -- May acquired Foley's in Houston and Filene's in Boston."

Now, in another history, I discovered that The May Company was actually founded in Leadville, Colorado, then moved quickly to St. Louis when they aquired a big store there.

So, at least at this point in time, it could be argued that Foley's corporated has roots in Colorado.
