History
The Grove Shoe Repair and Orthopedic Lab was started in Elk Grove Village as a local community service type business. The original location was an open air mall type set up called the Grove Shopping Center. The Grove featured two grocery stores, a hardware store, women and mens fashion clothing stores, the Elk Grove Post office and many other service type businesses. Larry, the current owner has been with the company since 1970. Well the old shopping center is gone and replaced with a new modern center. The Grove Shoe Repair and Orthopedic Lab is in a different location within the Village of Elk Grove, at 294 E. Devon Avenue. But those memories of where we started and all the the customers who became friends, will never be forgotten!
