Shoe Sensation hosted a grand opening celebration in Austin on May 16-18 to mark the official opening of its newly relocated store, and it was a celebration for the whole community. 

Opening weekend festivities included a $1,000 donation to Paint the Town Pink, a community-led campaign that raises funds for cancer research at The Hormel Institute, and a $500 giveaway to one lucky winner. 

The community was invited to help kick off the weekend in style, with exclusive promotions, mystery bonus cards, and a host of live activities, including a remote broadcast from KAUS-FM, food trucks, and of course, the $500 gift card drawing.

This relocation marks an exciting refresh for a popular Austin neighborhood shoe store. 

“We’re thrilled to bring your favorite name brands into a new, modern space without losing the small-town customer service that makes Shoe Sensation such a special place to shop,” said CEO Dave Schoengart.  “We love to celebrate our communities and make them the best they can be. Opening weekend is just a small thank you to the communities we serve, and the festivities wouldn’t be complete without a donation to a local charity. We’re honored to support Paint the Town Pink this weekend here in Austin.” 

A ribbon cutting hosted by the Austin Area Chamber of Commerce formally marked the store’s relocation on Friday, May 16.
