Super Shoes

Super Shoes is an independent footwear and apparel retailer with deep roots in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States. The company was founded in 1972, beginning as a single store in Hagerstown, Maryland. Over the years, Super Shoes has steadily expanded its reach, and as of November 2025, operates 42 stores across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, New York, and Vermont.

Super Shoes has built its reputation by focusing on secondary and tertiary markets, especially in communities that often lack access to national footwear chains. The retailer offers a broad selection of work, casual, athletic, and comfort footwear, along with accessories and select apparel, catering to both working professionals and families. Its growth has been measured and consistent, with a preference for strip centers and freestanding buildings that provide high visibility and convenient access to major highways.

In the past five years, Super Shoes has maintained its commitment to serving underserved markets, actively seeking new locations in areas with strong daytime populations. The company’s store format is designed to be flexible and accessible, making it a reliable traffic generator for retail centers. Super Shoes remains privately held, with no parent company or major acquisitions, and continues to operate independently.

For landlords, brokers, and developers, Super Shoes stands out for its proven operational track record, scalable store model, and ongoing search for new sites in priority growth markets such as Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, New York, and Vermont. The brand’s steady expansion and responsiveness to real estate opportunities make it a credible partner for retail property owners looking to attract established regional tenants.
