A long-running shoe repair business in Bucks County is closing at the end of the month. The owner says it wasn’t by choice, but he’s now looking ahead to the possibility of what might be next, after five decades in business.Customer Jay Sklarow stated, "It’s a rare art that he does."Over half a century in business, customers at Dominic’s Shoe Repair explain why they keep coming back. Sklarow continued, "He’s very talkative and he’s a really nice guy and he does great work.
"There’s only a small number of shoe cobblers left. Mormando says it’s because most shoes today aren’t made to be repaired, but thrown out after wear. And now Mormando is getting ready to move out of his shop. The landlord gave him notice to leave as he’s under a month-to-month lease.Mormando started Dominic’s Shoe Repair in 1970. He moved to the current location on Street Road in the mid-1980s. His final day is November 30th.
