David Weinberg, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, and Director at Skechers U.S.A., has also been a Camp Bow Wow franchisee in North Phoenix, Arizona. In a 2025 franchisee story, Weinberg described his experience opening the camp, noting that the mayor attended the opening and that the camp was sold out for interviews over Easter weekend despite corporate concerns about timing. He characterized the franchise community as "one big family" and said that owners share ideas through group chats and corporate support. In a 2016 appearance on CNBC's *Mad Money*, Weinberg addressed a 31% drop in Skechers' stock following a quarterly earnings report. He attributed the earnings miss to the strong dollar, a personal injury lawsuit settlement, and increased deferred rent expense, and said the company still expected to double its business in five years. In a 2015 appearance, he described Skechers as "a marketing company first" and stated that the brand was growing worldwide across multiple categories and geographies, with China and other international markets representing significant growth opportunities.
“Not only did the mayor come to our opening of Phoenix, we had vendors from Chick-fil-A, we had a large crowd to come support us on a ribbon cutting.”
“Corporate was actually a little worried about our opening and having enough interviews on our opening just based off the time frame that we had from our construction end date to our certificate of occupancy to the fact it fell on Easter weekend.”
“We went ahead and did it and we were sold out on interviews for the entire weekend and the following week.”
“I feel like it's one big family. Anytime that you need any sort of assistance or anytime that you need some advice, you can always call somebody or you can always call corporate and they're there to answer and they're also there to just kind of guide you in the right direction.”
