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.

Foley's history with May has its roots in Colorado; the last 16 years of it. Before that, it was all Texan.
