Munro & Company is a manufacturer and distributor of high quality footwear for men, women and children. The company was established in 1972 consisting of three shoe manufacturing plants, all in Arkansas. . These three plants formed the nucleus of Munro & Company. The company produced men s and women s leather shoes and boots for the major national retailers. To create new distribution channels and serve new customers, the company established its own group of brands. In 1984, Munro launched a women s brand under the Munro American name. Munro & Company purchased controlling interest in Jumping Jacks Shoes, of Monett, Mo., and today owns 100 percent of the company, a leader in the children s shoe industry. The company also owns its children s brands and production facilities in Clarksville, Ark. The company s activities necessitated the addition of a 140,000 square foot building in Hot Springs, now called the Fred Young Center. This building houses Munro & Company offices and warehouse space for more than 1 million pair of shoes. More than 4 million pair moves through this facility annually, out of the 6 million pair total produced by Munro & Company. The company s clients include all the major national upscale retailers and distributors and the larger local and regional independent retailers.
