History
Established in 1983.
Owner’s experience goes back to the mid 1960’s. Desiring to be his own boss, he purchased an existing shop from an individual that was downsizing and selling his less profitable locations. We’ve built this client base from while-you-wait work to promising jobs two to three weeks out from drop-off date. We are now open at least 49 hours a week with much after-hours overtime being put in. We can’t turn the work out as fast as it comes in, but the three National awards earned for outstanding craftsmanship have our customers willing to wait to get the BEST!
Meet the Business Owner
Randolph L.
Business Owner
Thanks to his parents Randolph has always had a strong work ethic. He landed a job in a shoe repair shop as an apprentice when he was just a Freshman in high school. He kept that part-time job for the next 8 years, even working on weekends when he was home from college.
In the fall of 1975, he hired on full time with a larger shoe repair shop while completing his last year of college as well as his first year of marriage to Twyla. He was laid off for lack of enough work coming in, just over a year later.
Randolph held a couple of other jobs before deciding to become a business owner. He also worked part-time for both shoe repair shops when they needed him.
In March of 1983, the owner of the larger shoe shop decided to downsize his operation and sell one of his 5 locations. He offered it to Randolph, and we became entrepreneurs!
