From Door-to-Door Salesman to $2B Shoe Empire: Aldo Bensadoun’s ALDO 👞💼 Aldo Bensadoun wasn’t supposed to work in retail. Born in Morocco and educated at prestigious schools, his family of teachers considered retail “lower level” work. But while selling encyclopedias door-to-door to improve his English, he discovered his natural sales talent. After a shoe company owner promised him 5% equity then broke that promise, Aldo quit despite having a newborn son and no savings. He started with just three small shelves in someone else’s store. His breakthrough came from vertical integration. While competitors bought from wholesalers, Aldo went directly to Italian factories and built his company on three values: love, respect, and integrity. Today, ALDO operates 3,000 stores in 100 countries, generates $2 billion in annual sales, and remains a family business with his son David as CEO.
