...struggle is the interesting part--that when you're successful, it's not so interesting anymore. And you guys probably don't know this, but you're responsible for $9 billion worth of ticket sales among you. I think a lot of it is The Man with One Red Shoe...
...beef a year, and the average European puts away 40 lbs. (18 kg). Yet in taste terms, little of the 66 million tons of beef produced annually is worth the cholesterol it contains.

The retailer is known for its cheap casual and college-themed clothes and was looking for a way into athletic footwear when it got word that Marbury also wanted to market an inexpensive shoe. The privately held company had 120 outlets before the Starburys launched; it will have 270 by year-end.
