History
The Store started in a small house around the corner from where our store sits now.. We started by doing repairs for people and fixing running shoes that were defective. Then reselling them for $29.. This is what built the business.. We have now grown and have 3 stores.. The original store is here in Island Pond, Vermont.. About 12 to 15 years ago we opened an other store in Lancaster, NH which has grown a lot over the years.. And recently we opened one in downtown Rutland vermont..
