Shoe Carnival

Shoe Carnival is a retailer of family footwear in the United States. The company operates over 370 stores throughout the midwest, south, and southeast regions. It was founded by David Russell in 1978 and is headquartered in Evansville, Indiana.

The company sells men’s, women’s, children’s, and athletic footwear through its retail stores. Its stores also offer accessories such as handbags, wallets, shoe care items, and socks. The main difference in Shoe Carnival stores is its concept. The Shoe Carnival Concept is creating an urgency to buy through limited time promotions and the microphone. The mic person announces ‘specials’ over the microphone. These specials include discount, product information, and fun specials which encourage customers to make a purchase.

Soma Intimates

At Soma Intimates, we believe Beautiful Begins Underneath™

Before we opened our first boutique in 2004, we imagined shopping in a place that knows what women reallywant. A place where lingerie is not just beautiful and sensual, but luxuriously soft and comfortable. A place that caters to women with a fit for every body. A place where warm, personal service is the mantra.

And so we created Soma Intimates.

More than 200 boutiques later, we continue our quest to know you better. We create products women long for and once discovered, cannot live without. We are revolutionizing women’s intimates each and every day with exclusive innovations you can’t find elsewhere.

We haven’t stopped there.

We help you embrace your body by making you look and feel gorgeous. Our Expert Fit Stylists can determine your exact bra size in minutes and wardrobe you with an always perfect fit.

Not only do we care about what women need, we care for women in need with our semi-annual Soma Bra Donation. To date, we have collected more than 500,000.

What’s in store?

Your unwavering satisfaction with our lingerie inspired us to create Soma loungewear and dresses, modern clothing made of the softest fabrics for day or evening; as well as our Oh My Gorgeous® fine fragrance and Soma Sensualities™ bath & body collections. And, we will continue to bring you even more beautiful products.

We are proud to serve women and honored to be Your New Bra Destination™.

Altar’d State

Altar’d State started with a mission to fill a gap in the retail industry and change the world for the better. We began as one little shop; learning, growing, defining who we are. When we liked what we made, we branched out and continued developing along the way. Since 2009, we have grown our footprint from one fledgling retail shop to nearly 30 booming fashion boutiques across our region. We have no plans to stop.
