Jerry Sear And Sear’s Shoe Store Have Served The Community Well

  • Monday, April 5, 2021

Thank you, Jerry Sear and Sear’s Shoe Store. 

If you take a minute to imagine the perfect combination of kindness, work ethic, creativity and ethical small business talent, the picture that comes into focus is Mr. Jerry Sear.

Sear’s Shoe Store and Jerry Sear have served our community through five generations of my family. 

The memories that I have from childhood to the present of going to see Jerry, and the treasure hunt at the shoe store for the perfect pair of shoes, brings a smile to my face.

I know Jerry has taken care of so many people, schools, teams, workers and his Tennessee and North Georgia communities. So many satisfied customers and happy feet!

I wish Jerry a blissful and rewarding retirement with his family.
