Shoe Carnival has announced that Kerry Jackson will resume the position of CFO, a role he has held for almost 30 years. This comes at a time when the company is looking to expand its Shoe Station banner
“I’m excited to have Kerry rejoin my executive leadership team at this pivotal moment for Shoe Carnival”, said Mark Worden, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“This week we celebrated the grand opening of our 100th Shoe Station store, growing from the 21 locations we originally acquired, with plans to exceed 215 stores by July 2026. With Kerry already leading our business development efforts and his deep knowledge of our business, this is the natural time for his return to the CFO role as we execute our strategic plan”, Worden added.
