According to a story on Bloomberg.com VF Corp’s CEO Eric Wiseman is letting people know that he and the company are in “active discussions” on an outdoor/action sports acquisition. Wonder who that could be?
“There are lots of really interesting discussions about brands that may be appropriate,” Wiseman, 53, said in a May 15 interview at VF’s headquarters in Greensboro, North Carolina. “I hope we can make an interesting acquisition this year.”
The word before was that VF was gunning for DC Shoes. But with everything going down lately, we’re wondering why VF would take one little bite, when they could just chomp down on the whole thing. . .
