Leggett

Leggett Stores Inc. was a privately owned retail company based in Danville, Virginia. In 1997, it announced in a short statement late Thursday that it would be purchased by the Charlotte, N.C.-based Belk companies. Earlier that year, Leggett Stores acknowledged it was seeking a suitor. It received a buyout offer in February from a retailer rumored to be Knoxville, Tennessee-based Proffitt's Inc. or Little Rock, Arkansas-based Dillard Department Stores Inc. That deal fell through, and Leggett moved on to Belk's offer.
