“The team took on the role of our financial advisor after we interviewed numerous firms. Their experience and expertise from start to finish ended in a partnership with an organization that honors the legacy of my father, our company’s founder. They recognized the unique dynamic of a family-owned business and focused on a result that provided not only return to shareholders, but also an understanding that the name Shoe Station was a regional resource which could continue to be developed for generations to come. We appreciate their time, effort and energy spent on achieving the best outcome for our entire Shoe Station family.”
