Vancouver-based Ronsons has opened its flagship shoe store at 734 Granville Street in Downtown Vancouver. It replaces footwear retailer Shoe Warehouse, formerly located in the space.

For those unfamiliar, Ronsons is a retailer, manufacturer and designer of ‘comfort shoes’. It is owned by a father-and-son team, and it was founded in 1988. It has 14 store locations, both under the Ronsons name as well as its discount store Ronsons Rack. Its Rack stores sell clearance footwear at prices typically at least 50% off.

The new Vancouver Ronsons boasts high ceilings and also features the discounted Ronsons Rack area in the back of the store. The new store replaces a smaller, 1,000 square foot Ronsons across the street on the lower level of Pacific Centre.
