Carrefour's chairman resigned in an apparent rift with the company's leading family. Coincidentally or not, at the same time it was announced that a private equity firm (is there a pattern here?) had also bought a large stake.
Payless Shoesource bought one of their private-label suppliers, "Collective Licensing International, which owns the Airwalk brand of shoes sold exclusively in Payless stores since 2003."
