LA Rotary to Welcome Lucas Argrew, Beyond Shoe Repair Owner on July 30
Lucas Argrew
Lewiston
– Members of the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Club have invited Lucas Argrew,
as their featured guest speaker on Thursday, July 30. Argrew,
owner of Beyond Shoe Repair, is a New England Native. Born in Brockton,
which was once the shoe city of Massachusetts, and moved to Portland,
Maine as a teenager. Lucas studied many trades and art disciplines until
the recession hit in 2008 just after he and his wife had moved to Ohio
for grad school.
When it seemed like everyone was getting laid off and
losing money, he took a job with a growing shoe repair company in
Columbus. Having such a trade and art heavy background, Lucas settled
happily into the industry for five years before deciding to moved back
to home to Maine. Realizing that the “Shoe City” of Maine had been void
of a cobbler for over a decade, Lucas saw a great opportunity that has
proven to be a successful move. Beyond Shoe Repair opened in April of
2014 and has seen nothing but increasing business.
Open Monday through
Thursday from 9 am to 6 pm, they specialize in shoe repairs of all kinds
as well as repairs on all sorts of zippers, heavy stitching, leather,
and much more.
The Rotary fellowship group meets every Thursday at the Ramada Inn, Lewiston from noon to 1 p.m. Guests are always welcomed.
