Terry’s offers a wide selection children’s shoes, dance gear, cleats, bags and accessories, and being able to find all of that in one place is valuable to Midland. It's been a fixture in Midland since 2000 and a presence in West Texas since 1976, but on the day before Easter this year, Terry Severt sized his last shoe and retired from retail after 42 years working in the industry. “It was just time,” Severt said when discussing the difficult decision to step away. The business and the brand, however, continue under new ownership, and they’ve been a great fit. New owners and brother-sister team Chris Cato and Jennifer Doonan took over operations this summer. Cato recently sunset his hot shot company, Cato’s Carriers, after five years in business. At 25 — the same age Severt was when he started Terry’s — he traded in the often-stressful oilfield transportation life for more relaxed, though still long, days fitting children with the perfect shoes.
