Zappos.com is an online shoe and clothing shop. Currently based in Henderson, Nevada, United States,[4] the company warehouse is located in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, along with an outlet store.
Since its founding in 1999, Zappos has grown to be the largest online shoe store.[5] Zappos did "almost nothing" in sales for 1999, but grossed over USD$800 million in merchandise sales in 2007 and grossed over $1 billion in 2009.[2] In July 2009, under pressure to deliver a return to Sequoia Capital and its other investors, the company announced it would be acquired by Amazon.com in an all-stock deal;[6] by the time the deal closed in early November, the deal was worth about $1.2 billion.[7][8][9]
The name Zappos is derived from the Spanish word zapatos, meaning shoes.
