PICKERINGTON - The R.G. Barry Corporation, the Dearfoams company, announced that plans are under way to purchase the NCAA College Clogs business, according to a press release on the company's Web site.
R.G. Barry, a Pickerington-based company, signed a transfer agreement under which it will buy the business from Wolverine World Wide, Inc.
The companies expect the business transfer to be complete within two weeks. Financial terms were not disclosed.
College Clogs footwear features the embroidered logos and official colors of many major NCAA colleges and universities and is sold through independent and online retailers, college bookstores and nonpromotional department stores, according to the press release.
R.G. Barry President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Tunney said it is estimated that total worldwide retail sales for all types of college merchandise, ''was in the neighborhood of $3 billion'' in 2006.
''We think the NCAA licensed College Clogs program will allow us to capture a small piece of that growing global market,'' Tunney said in the press release.

Who wins and who loses?
Clearly banning residential zoning is unconstitutional and if you had any brains you would know that. Carrying on with the same thought process how does only building homes in the township help any of us in the school district? How does that mean that Ted and Brian are getting ready to build more homes. Have they proposed to rescind the two lots per acre ordinance that they both worked to create? Are they wanting to rescind the residential guidelines they both worked to adopt? Are they wanting to resscind the imapct fee policies? Clearly they followed through with their convictions and created some very fine pieces of legislation over the last few years.
OHHHHH what do we have here? Even the Trustees didn't like it.
ORDINANCE 2006-26, ?“AN ORDINANCE REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 2006-163 ENTITLED ?‘AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A MASTER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH VIOLET TOWNSHIP REGARDING ANNEXATION AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT?’,?” First Reading, Fix. Mr. Fix moved to adopt; Mr. Smith seconded the motion. Mr. Fix stated earlier this year Council adopted the ordinance authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Master Economic Development Agreement with the Township. He stated after the ordinance was passed, the Township came back with some changes to the document. He stated further we have subsequently been invited to join the group that includes Violet Township, Bloom Township, Canal Winchester, and the City of Lancaster, in a memorandum of understanding for commercial development along the Route 33 corridor. He stated with both of those facts, the ordinance that had the agreement in it was no longer valid and should therefore be rescinded. Mr. Sabatino stated he felt everyone knew what the original ordinance dealt with; there was a referendum on it and an initiative petition. Mr. Sabatino stated he suspected the timing of the introduction of this legislation at this time and he saw no sense of urgency to bring it forward at this time. He stated if we had more than enough people sign a petition to vote on this issue he felt we should respect their wishes. Mrs. Riggs stated they would be voting on something that is no longer valid and she did not see waiting until closer to November. Mr. Sabatino stated he was under the impression this had the concurrence of the Township and obviously it didn?’t, so he questioned why this was coming forward now. He stated if it was that important why wasn?’t it brought forward a couple of months ago when we knew the Township wasn?’t moving forward with it. Mrs. Riggs stated knowing how government works she did not see that this was an unreasonable timeframe. Mr. Fix stated this was not put on tonight?’s agenda for any political reason. Roll call was taken with Mr. Wisniewski and Mr. Hackworth abstaining, Mr. Sabatino voting ?“Nay,?” and Mrs. Riggs, Mrs. Hammond, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Fix voting ?“Yea.?” Motion passed, 4-1.
