Spotlight on The Rutland St Precinct Crew - Peggy from the Happy Shoe Shop
Everybody needs good neighbours right? Luckily, we here at Jade and May are chuffed to bits with ours! We LOVE being nestled in the Rutland Street Precinct in the historic RS & S Woollen Mills. And even better than our beautiful location, is the fact that we are sat amongst some of the BEST people and businesses we know. So much so, that we'd like to introduce them to you, so you can get to know them, too
To so many in the community, Peggy from The Happy Shoe Shop needs no introduction. For those who have yet had the pleasure - here you are, and you're welcome. With one of the biggest hearts around, a contagious laugh and a shoe collection to die for, we think Peggy is awesome. Now, over to Peggy.
Give us the elevator pitch? What’s your store, where are you located and who are you?
Here at The Happy Shoe Shop, we like to consider ourselves purveyors of Comfort and Happiness! We love to supply and fit you with good quality comfortable footwear, lovely clothing, and much more. We have 2 locations: Back side of the old wool mill in Geelong/ Newtown for 12 years now and down the Bellarine in Queenscliff for just over 2 years
How would you sum up where you work in 3 words?

What is your advice for those who are just starting out?

2. Never be afraid to ask for help.
3. Always be transparent and honest.
