Extra! Extra! Rochester Shoe Repair Shop for Sale!

Is Rochester's Shoe Repair Shop count ready to drop from one to none?

Back in April, Boston Shoe and Boot Repair in the Apache Mall, announced they were closing their doors. Boston Shoe and Boot Repair has been open in Rochester for 104 years, the last 50 at the mall. Now another shoe repair shop's building has popped up for sale.

Perusing real estate for sale is one of my weekly "chores." That's in quotes because I love jumping on the internet doohickey, searching "real estate for sale" and touring homes and businesses...and sometimes just plots of land.

If you want to stay in the shoe, boot, zippers, coats, jackets, purses, and luggage repair business, they're taking the machines with them. So, maybe reach out to Thee Only Shoe Repair owner, Jim Derouin to see if you can make a deal there or something. The shop was started in 1963.

The house has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and though there are no photos of it, the upstairs could be an apartment to rent out if that's something that interests you.
