History
The year was 1914. Two of Peck's department store employee's, Charlie Lamey and Dan Wellehan, left their respective posts; Charlie a shoe buyer, and Dan a window trimmer, to open their own shoe store. The grand opening on March 17, 1914 was celebrated by giving shamrocks to all the friends and guests who were in to congratulate the young men on what would be an instant success; Lamey Wellehan Shoes. While many traditions have been passed down to the present, more important was the service bestowed upon people that first day of business. Charlie and Dan held the belief that in their store, you are always a guest before you are a customer. This ideological foundation was built upon to create a powerful mission of service and 90 years later has proven unbreakable.
