November 4 2020 - November Member Meeting

LOCATION:

World Event Center

Wed November 4, 2020

6:30pm 

WBN's November Meeting is bringing us the amazing Shelby Leonard Watt from Save our Soles in downtown Peterborough. She will be bringing us laughs and advice from her years as a female entreprenur with a family and a booming ecommerce business.

Shelby Leonard-Watt created S.O.S Save Our Soles, with her partner Mike Watt, in 2006. This was their 3rd brick and mortar shop in downtown Peterborough, Ontario.
The concept of S.O.S was to be more than a shoe & apparel shop for women. It was created as a lifestyle store: whether you need an outfit, the must-have coveted items of the moment, or that shoe you just can't leave behind. It's a space where women can be at ease with their bodies, dress their confidence, while having a laugh and a positive experience. It's about loving clothes and shoes (and ourselves!) and all things girly. While not taking ourselves too seriously, because at the end of the day a little retail therapy is meant to be fun.
