WEAVER'S LEATHER STORE
Describe the products/services you provide.
We are a retail store for boots, shoes and clothing. Shoe/boot repair is also a service we provide.
Tell us about the history of your business.
The store originally started by Ted Weaver in 1925. He repaired harnesses and did shoe/boot repair. In 1930, he built the store on 112 N Main St where we still are today. Ted's only child, LeRoy Weaver, took over the business in 1950 after his dad, Ted had passed away with cancer. In the late 70's, LeRoy added on to his business to sell more boots and shoes. By 2004, LeRoy's son, Tim, took over the business with his wife, Julie. Tim and Julie added Carhartt clothing and other apparel to their business and saw a need to add on again in 2012. Today, there are three generations of Weavers working in the store since both of Tim and Julie's boys, Tanner and Colin are working there also.
What makes your business unique?
We are the oldest family owned business in Buffalo Center and currently have 3 generations of the family working here. Many people marvel at the fact that LeRoy at the young age of 19 took over the business and is still working here today 6 days a week at the age of 93. He will turn 94 in March. Stay tuned for a 100 year celebration in 2025.
