Full company description
Browns Shoes est une entreprise familiale établie à Montréal en 1940. Browns est synonyme de collections de grands créateurs internationaux, de produits de cuir luxueux et de mode exclusive pour les femmes, les hommes et les enfants. L'un des secrets du succès de la chaîne réside dans la philosophie de vente au détail de son président, Morton Brownstein, qui explique : Je veux que chaque client dise : « Je dois aller chez Browns », et non « Je dois acheter une paire de chaussures ». Si nous y parvenons, nous aurons réussi à faire correspondre « chaussures » à Browns dans l'esprit du client, de sorte que pour lui, le seul endroit où il peut acheter des chaussures est Browns. Browns est enthousiaste quant à son rôle de premier détaillant de chaussures de mode au Canada. L'entreprise prévoit d'ouvrir de nouveaux magasins et d'en rénover plusieurs, ainsi que d'élargir les collections de créateurs et d'introduire de nouvelles lignes exclusives. Browns Shoes is a family-owned business established in Montreal in 1940. Browns is synonymous with top international designer collections, luxurious leather goods, and exclusive street savvy fashion for ladies, men and children. One of the secrets to the success of the chain is the retail philosophy of chairman Morton Brownstein, who explains, "I want every customer to say, ‘I need to go to Browns,’ not ‘I need to buy a pair of shoes.’ If we accomplish this, then we have succeeded in equating shoes with Browns in a customer’s mind, so that for her or him, the only place to purchase shoes is Browns." Browns is enthusiastic about its role as the leading retailer of fashion footwear in Canada. The company has plans to open new locations and to renovate several stores, as well as to expand designer collections and introduce new exclusive lines.
