Designer Shoes Scranton | Runway 410 Spruce Street 343-3334

April 18, 2009

Runway at 410 Spruce Street in Scranton (343-3334) is the place to go to get your shoe fetish on! That’s because Natalie Wilchinski, owner and operator of Runway, knows all about that particular fetish.

Natalie started the business because of her love for fashion. Despite being a full-time physician’s assistant, she decided that she just had to do what she loved, too. Naturally, she has help from family and an employee to keep things running when she can’t be there physically.

Natalie has a keen eye for fashion trends and stocks what’s hot. Business is good, despite the current economic climate, because she has built her business out of passion, not just catering to a rich clientele.

This young entrepreneur is looking to expand her business online, with an e-commerce store in the near future. She’ll still keep serving her local market at the Scranton store, but wants to extend her reach beyond the confines of NEPA.

Store hours are from 10 AM to 5:30 PM Monday through Saturday, with extended shopping hours on Thursday ’til 7 PM.

Runway Luxury Footwarethe place to indulge your shoe fetish! Call 343-3334 for directions to 410 Spruce St. in Scranton.


Scranton Music Store | Wade’s World Music 570-207-8733

April 4, 2009

Used Accessories, Amps, Guitars, Drums, PA Band Equipment — Buy, Sell, Trade and Rent. That’s the blurb for Wade’s World Music in Scranton. Now, here’s the skinny, the 411, the inside poop on this guy and his business.

Wade Whitney does business the old-fashioned way: personalized, personable and looking towards the future. He builds relationships, not just his bottom line. Sure, he’s in business to make a profit, but not at the expense of his reputation.

Band equipment isn’t the only thing you’ll find here. Wade’s World is a place where you can hang out, try out the gear and speak out about what’s happening in music, the area and whatever else is on your mind. Musical instruments are the focus, but aren’t the only thing that merits attention.

I go there for the guitars, accessories and the like. That’s because I’m a guitar player (duh). However, on any given day, you’ll find folks looking at drums, pa equipment, bass guitars, amps — even cowbells! Okay, there aren’t a lot of cowbell types dropping by…

Now that Wade has opened up an area in the back of the store for trying out gear, it’s actually possible to have a coherent conversation in the front while some guy wales on a guitar he’s thinking of buying. That, in itself, is a major improvement!

Those of you looking to rent band equipment, whether it’s for a gig or the school band, Wade can accomodate you. Drop by the store at 1509 North Main Avenue and check out the selection. You just might find the cowbell of your dreams!
