Hello hello! 👋🏻 We have a lot of new followe Hello hello! 👋🏻 We have a lot of new followers (hi!), so we wanted to take a moment and introduce ourselves and explain our mission and this page. We are Brigitte and Vicki from @twogirlsmedia. We started our company about five years ago. Three years ago, we started publishing printed town Guides to celebrate things to do in the area, bites to eat, shops to visit and more. We highlight a LOT of that on this IG channel, but it’s just the side piece to the real star… our printed Guides. We deliver our Guides to about 20 locations all over town weekly. You can grab a copy at the library, @dunkin, the Waverly Restaurant, @madisontire285, @thesnookishop and @sharkeysmadison to name a few. The Guides include interviews with locals, sometimes a bit of history and lots more about the Madison community. The Guides are free for you, and is our way of highlighting the towns we cover and our fellow small business owners. You can also visit the Guide’s companion web site at MadisonNJGuide.com for blog posts and a complete list of more places where you can grab a Guide. We’re able to publish our Guides because of our awesome advertisers - we appreciate their support and YOUR support of them so we can keep doing what we’re doing. Have a question? Want to share something we should cover? Want to tell us about your new favorite drink in town? Comment or DM us, we love to chat with you! The Fall issues are at the printer and will be out in the beginning of August. Want more details on advertising? Get in touch - we’d love to work with you. ✨

Suburban Shoes

Suburban Shoes has been a long-standing staple in downtown Madison for as long as we can remember. Its tradition of providing personal service in a charming location sets it apart from big box retailers. Let’s get to know the owner!

Was your dream always to open a shoe shop? Tell us briefly how the store came to be.

No, it was never my dream. My dad had been in the business for 25 years and a year after I graduated college the opportunity to purchase Suburban Shoes arose and it was the best decision I could have made.

Your store has had amazing staying power through many changes downtown—what has been the secret to your success?

No secret really, my employees and I are passionate about what we do and offer our customers great service. Our patrons recognize and appreciate this and they continue to come back.

What is your go-to meal in town?

Turkey Thursday at the Waverly Restaurant, of course!

If you didn’t own a shoe store, what would you be doing?

No clue. I don’t really think about things like that. I focus on where I am in the moment and what I’m working towards next.

What is a typical day for you like?

A typical day starts at 5:30 am for a workout in the gym. After that I take my kids to school and head to work for the day. I am usually home by 6:30 pm. 

What advice would you give someone just starting their entrepreneurial journey?

Be prepared to sacrifice. Your time and energy belongs to the business and unless you are willing to dedicate yourself fully you will have a difficult time being successful.

What is the most rewarding part of owning Suburban Shoes?

The store has been in business since 1947 and to still be relevant in a retail world dominated by online shopping is by far the most rewarding part. We love seeing the many generations of families come into the store and hearing customers say “I got my shoes here when I was little” and “I brought my kids here for their shoes and now I am bringing my grandchildren.” This October will be our 75th anniversary—I am proud of our past and looking forward to our future!
