👞 Generations of Dedication
As Founders Week continues, we’re celebrating the generations of the Faklis family who have carried this business forward with hard work, craftsmanship, and a commitment to serving our community.
After our founder, Vasile Faklis, opened the doors in 1912, his sons, George and Michael Faklis, continued the family tradition, dedicating their lives to serving generations of customers with quality footwear and expert shoe repair.
Today, Vasile Faklis, George’s son and our owner, proudly carries that legacy forward, combining our family’s history with expert orthopedic care and a continued commitment to exceptional service.
For more than a century, our story has been written by three generations of the Faklis family, but it wouldn’t be possible without the loyalty and support of our customers and our community.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives for over a century.
Founders Week continues through Saturday, July 18. Look for the orange sticker throughout the store to shop 30% OFF a huge selection of marked-down shoes!
