Aldo Group runs more than 1,600 shoe stores, including about 1,000 under the Aldo banner, and the Spring, Locale, and GLOBO names, among others. The company has stores in Canada, the US, the UK, and through franchises in some 60 other countries worldwide. Aldo Group entered the US market in 1993 and has grown to number 475 stores here. Globetrotting Aldo's international sales now outpace its business in Canada. Plans call for more expansion in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the US. The privately-held company was born with the 1972 opening of four stores by Moroccan founder Aldo Bensadoun.
