About Browns Shoes Inc.
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.
