DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) is a US designer and brand-name shoe discount retailer with around 508 US stores, founded in 1969 as Shonac Corp and launched as the DSW warehouse format in 1991 by Jay Schottenstein in Columbus Ohio (now publicly traded as NYSE:DBI under parent Designer Brands Inc), headquartered at 810 DSW Drive in Columbus, known for the warehouse-style self-service format (all sizes are on the floor, with no stockroom wait), the 3-tier VIP Rewards program (Club, Gold, and Elite), the KOLE shoe-stretching service, and the Designer Brands family of brands including The Shoe Co in Canada, Camuto Group with Vince Camuto and licensed Jessica Simpson, and private labels Kelly & Katie, Audrey Brooke, Lulu Townsend, and Poppie Jones.

The questions readers actually ask: what time does DSW open today, when does the store close, are they open on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter, what does VIP Rewards include, and Sunday hours.

Two DSW specific things worth knowing: most mall-tenant stores run 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM Mon-Sat and 10:00 or 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM Sunday, while standalone strip-center and New Jersey Sunday-blue-law-region stores run 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM Mon-Thu and 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM Fri-Sat (Rego Park NYC runs a uniform 9:00 AM to 9:30 PM seven days); the chain has no 24-hour locations and is closed only on Christmas Day chain-wide, with Thanksgiving running reduced or closed at most stores and Christmas Eve open 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Footwear sibling Foot Locker follows similar mall-tenant hours but focuses on athletic footwear vs DSW’s designer + brand-name discount mix.
