(Atlantic) The Atlantic Chamber Ambassadors were hosted by Brown Shoe Fit Co. on Thursday, February 25th. Ambassadors were introduced to Kendall Staley who has started the Brown’s Shoe Fit Manager in training program.
Kendall grew up in Adair and spent a few years living in Missouri before making her way back to her hometown, where she currently resides. Kendall shared that she has learned a lot in her first month of working with Brian, Joyce, and Lori and has really enjoyed getting acquainted with Atlantic and meeting the customers of Brown Shoe Fit. Kendall will shadow under Brian for about two years and then continue working her way through their program.
Brian Ruge, owner, shared that Brown’s Shoe Fit has recently started offering a selection of clothing, purses, and sunglasses and has recently started hosting “pop-up” events. These pop-up events consist of the Brown’s team loading a cargo trailer full of a variety of shoes and taking them to surrounding communities. Brown’s Shoe Fit will “set up shop” for a few days which allows the residents to shop Brown’s Shoe Fit’s great selection of shoes while staying close to home. Brian shared that he enjoys the pop-up events because he gets to build relationships with customers outside of the area.
