Buying Boeing

Boeing operates nine retail stores, including the one at 410 W. Washington in Chicago.

It’s no surprise that the store features model airplane kits, but it also sells toys, handbags, golf balls, travel accessories, child- size bomber jackets and jewelry made from spare airplane parts.

Prices vary widely, with a 24-inch upright luggage carry-on ranging from $79 for a Skyway model to $335 for the high-end Swiss Guard version.

Boeing intends to make the store relevant to Chicago by publicizing it at events such as the Air and Water Show, and by creating educational programs with groups such as the Tuskegee Airmen.

“We want to expand our stores to look outward,” said Fritz Johnston, director of brand management and corporate identity for Boeing.

One possibility is to set up Boeing retail stores or kiosks in airports, Johnston said.

However, a longer-range consideration is to close the stores and point everyone to the e-commerce site at www. boeingstore.com.

Welcoming Boeing

Only 400 to 500 Boeing employees will be based in Chicago — 0.2 percent of its worldwide work force of 198,000. Just 200 are on the job for the company’s first week of operations in the top dozen stories of a downtown office tower.

But state and local leaders are enthused about the $4.3 billion long-term economic impact Boeing is projected to have on the area, along with the prestige of boasting the world’s biggest exporter and airplane maker.

Boeing’s chairman and chief executive, Philip Condit, picked Chicago as the new corporate base in May. The break with Seattle, where its commercial airplane division is based, is intended to aid Boeing’s efforts to grow and expand into new businesses and emphasize its transformation to more than a jetmaker.

BOEING REFUELS

The leadership shakeup announced Monday follows the firing of the company’s chief financial officer last week and ethical breaches and questions that have jeopardized Boeing’s $17 billion tanker contract with the U.S. government and led to its being indefinitely banned from bidding on military satellite launch contracts.

“2003 has been a challenging year,” said Stonecipher, who was also named president. “Going forward our task is to strengthen the reputation of this company with our customers, employees investors and the communities in which we operate. To do that we need to execute and pay unrelenting attention to the details.

“… A No. 1 priority [is] to restore our credibility with that huge customer called the U.S. government … because we have some huge contracts hanging around in the wings that we’d like to bring to fruition.”
