Fluevog expansion shows signs of life for shoe retail
Vancouver retailer expands to Edmonton and opens second Montreal store

Fluevog Shoes plans to open its 22nd store in Edmonton next week, on the heels of opening its 21st store – a second store in Montreal – earlier this year.

The openings highlight how small, niche shoe retailers are able to compete against large chains, some of which have had severe troubles.

Although Statistics Canada’s numbers show that Canadian shoe-store sales were about $322 million in January, up 6.8% from the same month in 2016, the overall sales mask scuff marks on some shoe retailers’ balance sheets.

Payless ShoeSource announced April 4 that it has filed for Chapter 11 protection from bankruptcy as it restructures. The reorganization will involve closing nearly 400 stores. Payless had operated more than 4,400 stores in more than 30 countries, including more than 100 stores in Canada.

Fleuvog makes fantastic shoes. Some really strange designs but the quality is almost always very high.

SpongeG · #**4918** Posted **Apr 12, 2017, 7:51 PM**

haha i've only been once, it was pretty good, the place had like a near hour wait for the table, they give you a beeper thing so you can go hangout in the mall. The soup I had was amazing. I don't remember if i had cheesecake though lol. It looked good.

The menu was like the size of a bible, it was way too big.

The menu is ridiculous but, it's part of their story. I remember being quite unimpressed by my choices given their price tag.
