Kenny is the Fitting Specialist of the Month for October not only for his shoe-fitting expertise, but also because of his dedication to consistently meeting and exceeding our customers' expectations. A good example happened late one Saturday night recently when he was helping a mother and daughter. The two women kept apologizing for being in the store after hours, and Kenny sincerely assured them he was happy to help them. The mother said she was doing some early Christmas shopping so Kenny even took the time to actually wrap the items she purchased. Kenny truly goes out of his way to ensure every person he meets in the store leaves with a smile. He is talented in his fitting abilities, honest in his sales, and passionate about helping others.
