So, I started thinking- if a keiretsu usually organizes around a bank, whom among our most-favorite brands might already be rockin’ an RSSD #, and thereby be sitting in prime position to get this party started? RSSD numbers are unique identifiers assigned to financial institutions by the Federal Reserve. I looked these up a couple weeks ago. Let the list begin!

Currently HAS an RSSD: AMC / Bed Bath & Beyond / Koss-Winn Bancshares / Macy’s / Macy’s State Street / Newell Associates / Nordstrom / Ovid Branch / Pulte Group / Revlon Inc / Revlon Financial Group / Sears / Sears & Roebuck / Toys ‘R’ Us

Did NOT HAVE an RSSD: 09302023 / 20230930 / Butterfly / DK-Butterfly / Beyond / Blockbuster / Buy Buy Baby / Chewy / DOM / Dream On Me / Gamestop / Gmerica / Icahn Enterprises /Lego / Nintendo / Overstock / Party City / Rite-Aid / Super League Enterprise / Teddy
