RUNNEMEDE NJ (CNBNews.net)–Finding a shoe repair shop is getting more difficult. Pete’s is a family owned and operated business for over 50 years. Their quality is excellent. They also sell a variety of other shoe related products. In addition, they also repair many other things, including even grass bags on mowers. They sewed the lining in a piece of luggage for me. The small loop on my leather watchband came off. They took care of that too. Their prices for these small repairs were very reasonable. They did both these things while I waited.
