Broadway Shoe Salon
Owner: Stanko Vilus
Year Established: 1967
The Broadway Shoe Salon is a long-standing local retailer for many popular shoe brands including Birkenstocks, Clarks and Merrells. Owner, Stanko Vilus trained as a shoemaker before moving to Canada and when he wanted to own his own business a shoe store was a natural choice.
His strategy has always been to work hard and be honest and kind to clients, and as a result he has a loyal customer base. In fact, his favourite memories have come from the relationships he has built with returning customers and the friendships that have grown out of the store. When he is not in the store chatting and helping customers you can find him in his garden or travelling.
