A long long time ago....
For over 45 years, Embassy Shoe Repair has been a go-to shoe repair and luggage retailer in Northern New Jersey. At the young age of 17, Joe apprenticed at a shop in Newark, NJ as he finished up his high school studies. At 19, he had his first opportunity to operate his own shop. The small shop was near a locally famous theater called "The Embassy", which is where the name of the shop came from. To this day, Joe continues to take pride in his craftsmanship and ability to bring shoes back from the dead. Over the years he's trained over 10 different shoe repair man, several of which are still in business today.
