Shoe Palace, based in San Jose, CA, said it is currently opening its 24th store in Ontario, California, the 12th Shoe Palace store opening in 2009 statewide.
“”This year has been an opportunistic time for those retailers who see
themselves in this for the long run,” said George Mersho, whose family
opened the first Shoe Palace store 15 years ago in San Jose, CA.
The expansion was revealed in a press release from JDS Solutions, a premier provider of retail management software that has been helping support its growth.
“As we
add more stores, our technology needs and requirements change,”
explained Mersho. “We’ve turned to JDS to help us communicate better
with Nike, one of our major suppliers, in order to get better
deliveries and help with our merchandise assortment mix. It’s critical
during these times to have a technology partner like JDS that helps
make growing your business easier.”
“Shoe Palace has shown incredible growth since we began working with the company in 2006, and this year has been no exception,” said Dan Friedman, President of JDS Solutions. “We work closely with our clients to make sure we are responsive to their individual needs. Shoe Palace is going through many changes due to their rapid growth; our instant availability to both support and development has helped to this end,” explained Friedman.
Shoe Palace was established in 1993. Its stores are located in Northern and Southern California.
