S ibling’s, Bergen County’s hometown shoe store since 1954, is beginning its second year at Ramapo Centre, 1003 MacArthur Boulevard in Mahwah. Owner Barbara Heschle is pleased with the move. “Our customers love the new store! It’s so bright and inviting. They love the ease of parking, too. The best thing we ever did was to move into this location. We love the way everything is laid out.” In the 1950s, Gibling’s opened in Ramsey’s Main Street shopping district. The store quickly found its niche, taking the time to help customers find shoes with a perfect fit. When the business moved Donna Spence, Barbara Heschle and Jackie Kimmel in 1958, the owner selected a Not pictured: Gail Cupo store in the Ramsey Interstate Shopping Center. In 1976, the original owner sold the business to Barbara, a dedicated employee. Today, Barbara, Store Manager Donna Spence, and staff continue the Gibling’s tradition of personalized customer service for every member of the family from babies getting their first pair of shoes right on up to senior citizens. Gibling’s customers receive one-on-one attention. Everyone is properly measured and fit. “We don’t sell shoes unless they’re needed,” Barbara emphasizes. “We’re very conscious about the fit. We’ll keep a size card on every child who comes in and send reminder notices.” Gibling’s offers a wide variety of famous footwear including Saucony, Nike, New Balance, SAS, Geox, Stride Rite, Pediped, Etnies, Merrell, Keen, and many more. Capezio dance footwear and garments are also available. Visit Gibling’s and experience the customer service you deserve. Hours are Monday through Thursday 9:30-6, Friday 9:30-7 and Saturday 9:30-5.
