Currently – ‘08

 

Special Thanks to our wonderful customers.  2008 ushers in our 30th Anniversary year.  It was in July of 1978, that Nancy and I bought the existing Jay Shoes in Highland Park.  Our original location was the eastern half of the newly opened Uncle Dan’s at the corner of Second and Central Avenue.  You can still see the brick wall that used to be our display wall in that store.  It was in December of 1993 that we moved into our current great location, where our close friend and landlords Leonard and Ann Cobey had their Menswear store bearing their name.  Be on the watch this year from July on, for celebrations of our 30 years – our big Anniversary party will be in November, which has always been our traditional time for celebrating.  Highland Park has been a wonderful lifetime of work for us.  We want to thank you all for this great experience.  Roger and Nancy Wolff
