The company was founded in Salisbury, North Carolina, in 1920 by Phil Levinson, who sold it to his son-in-law, Mort Lerner. It was bought in 1984 by the privately held Deichmann Group of Germany.[1][2] Till that time Rack Room Shoes ran 22 stores.

Rack Room now operates over 450 stores in 34 states under the names Rack Room Shoes and Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse,[3] a formerly Atlanta, Georgia-based chain which it bought in the 1980s.
