“We really, really appreciate every single one of our customers who have come in over the last 73 years. We’re very grateful.”
After over seven decades in business, a Moose Jaw fixture is selling shop. Nigel Gemmell, owner of Gemmell’s Shoes, invites one and all to come down to their store to shop the official Inventory Closing Out Sale.
“It’s the biggest sale we’ve ever had, and it’s going to last either until our inventory’s gone, or until we find a buyer for the business.”
Gemmell notes that a sale of this kind is a great opportunity for people to save on high quality footwear, especially when it comes to brands that don’t often lower their prices including Birkenstock and Blundstone.
Stock includes sneakers, loafers, dress shoes, high heels, work boots, cowboy boots, and more. Popular brands lining their shelves include RedWing, NewBalance, and Blundstone. With a website that boasts “comfort and style from extra narrow to super wide”, feet of all kinds are sure to find fits that are simultaneously comfortable and in a style that matches their wants and needs.
“They’re all good brands,” Gemmell notes. “We believe in high quality, and taking the time to fit people properly in the right footwear that make them feel good.”
The owner shares that, since the business opened in 1952, the relationship between the company and the customers has been a symbiotic one, and believes that every business interaction should be beneficial to both parties.
“It is a very established, stable business, and it’s only that way because we have the best customers in the world that continue to support us.”
Gemmell states that the company is trying to reduce inventory levels to a point that potential buyers will be drawn in and open to buying the business.
“It would be wonderful to see and help somebody continue on, and give them the helpful knowledge that we have to share.”
Anyone with serious inquiries about purchasing the business is welcome to connect with Nigel and his staff in-person or over the phone.
“Just come down and talk to us at the store, or give us a call. Just pop in and say hi- we’d love to hear from you.”
