Randy's became the 3rd largest manufacturer of shoes in the US. But had a factory in Gardenvale California that was losing a million dollars a month. Paul Van Doren his brother Jim Van Doren and long time friend Gordon Lee were given the task of straightening out the factory, and after 8 months they turned the west coast factory around and it was doing better then the one in Boston.
Three months later Paul Van Doren sat his 5 kids down and announced that he was going to quit his job and start a new shoe company. "Don't worry we're going to be fine' he said to his children who weren't at all concerned. Their dad was fanatical about cleaning and they were hoping this meant they only had to wash his car every second day instead of every day as it was currently.
