| When you think of Mont Clare Shoe Repair,
you think of Frank Sorrentino, the business icon.
Owner Frank Sorrentino started working at Mont Clare Shoe
Repair & Cleaners in 1953, learning tricks like how
to make those blister-causing shoes into your favorite pair.
He bought the store in 1975 and continues to run it with
devotion and loyalty to you, the customer.
Frank has missed one Saturday in the past 20 years and
never takes more than three days a year in March for vacation.
His Cubbies come first only during spring training!
The store is scattered with various bowling trophies from
over the years and Frank continues to hang with the guys
at the lanes. Ask to see the bowling trophy
for his perfect 300 game and he might throw in a free shine!
You may meet Frank's daughter, Lisa, who is following in his footsteps. Although they are big
shoes to fill in many ways, Lisa is devoted to keep the store operating as good as her Dad has
run it over the years. The only difference is you may see a laptop on the counter from time to
time!
