Description

Cinderella is proof that a great pair of shoes can change your life. Imagine what you could do if you had a whole store full... The Shoe Inn is a Qualicum Beach icon offering a full line of high quality shoes and accessories for the whole family. Popular brands carried include Blundstone, Birkenstock, Vessi, Reiker, Keen, Merrell, Glerups, and many many more. Located on the best corner in town with good lease terms, the business has operated successfully since 2002 and has built a very loyal clientele of locals and visitors who return time and time again for great selection and service. The current owners (since 2014) have loved their time at The Shoe Inn but are ready to hang up their heels and retire leading to this great opportunity. ‘Life is short – buy the shoes!’ (id:63159)
