A MAREEBA institution that has provided comfort and style to local feet and toes for nearly 30 years has officially changed hands with the new owners of the Graeme Shoe Store recently taking over the reins of the Byrnes Street business.
The much-loved shoe shop has built a long serving reputation for offering friendly service mixed with affordable prices but now after nearly three decades of service owners Vic and Angie Brignolo have called it a day.
“29 years ago we brought a small shoe store with our small children and over these years we have built not just the business but a family supporting Mareeba and the wider Tablelands Community,” former owners Vic and Angie explained.
“We have been in business since 1992 and in this time we have made many loyal customers and friends within our community and we are grateful for your business and support.
“Over the years we have enjoyed watching families grow, fitting children who then became parents and shared the pleasure with us to fit their children’s shoes.
“Our lives have worked around our business for many years now and the calling of an overdue holiday and grandparent duties are finally within reach.
“We wish to thank all our loyal customers who have continued to support us over the years and we will truly miss you.”
The Brignolo’s said the new Graeme Shoe Store owners come with a range of experience and are confident they’ll provide a great level of service for many years to come.
