Consumer spending drives the shoe store industry, the increase in consumer spending from 2014 to 2021 has led to increased shoe purchases. However, according to IBIS World, consumer shopping habits also changed during this time, and consumers bought more shoes online or in department shops than at shoe stores. As a result, the shoe store industry experienced an annual growth of just 0.2 percent from 2014 to 2021. During that time, the number of businesses declined to 28,922 as of 2021. In 2021, the shoe industry was expected to bring in $37 billion in revenue.In this episode we had the honor of “pulling up” on Erica Fellows - Salters of “SoleTique “.
