Comings & Goings: Allen Edmonds Opens Wednesday

Allen Edmonds, the men’s shoe store and accessories store, opens Wednesday at 69 Main St., according to store manager, Abby Beck (r). She said the new store – in space formerly occupied by The Gap—would celebrate its grand opening at a later date with an evening event. The Wisconsin native has worked for Allen Edmonds for 11 years and grew up just a few miles from its Port Washington, Wisc headquarters. She describes the business as “the Great American shoe company,” adding, “Don’t forget that we also carry men’s accessories.” The privately held Allen Edmonds company opened its first store in 1922.
