In 1921, two friends Al Mains and Cecil Ginsberg were looking for a business opportunity. They found a man who was looking for some investors for his shoe stores. These men recognized that their chief competition was mail-order operations like Montgomery Wards and Sears Roebuck. To encourage their potential customers to shop in the local community, they thought of the name “Trade At Home.” Then they shortened it to one word: “Tradehome.”
And so it was that Tradehome Shoes began in 1921, and the name Tradehome remains to this day. It was family-owned until 1999 when nine individuals, who had worked their way up in the company, bought it. Their succession plans include getting other Tradehome employees involved with ownership. Tradehome offers endless growth opportunities for individuals to work their way up through management, district management, regional supervision, buying positions, and possibly even ownership. All it takes is desire and hard work.
From two stores in 1921 to over 130 stores in 2024, the success of Tradehome’s survival and growth has been summed up by its former owner, Donald Mains, in one word: PEOPLE. “People means our customers and the outstanding level of Customer Service that sets us apart from other operations. People also means all the Tradehome organization with the ability and the attitude that has assured our success all these years.” This focus on customer service is what has set Tradehome apart from all of the other competitors, both past and present. This focus on “people” is why Tradehome is here today!
Tradehome Shoes is a 100% employee owned, service-oriented retailer of premium footwear. With locations throughout the United States, we have become a fixture in the communities in which we serve.
We pride ourselves on having a knowledgeable and helpful team who go to great lengths to provide the best footwear buying experience anywhere.
