Speaking of small business celebrations, Rossbach Shoe Store received a New York State Senate Empire Award, sponsored by Senator Mark Walczyk. The Facebook post stated, “Running a small business takes a lot of time, hard work, and dedication. Not to mention, knowing how to deliver customer service that is second to none. And that's exactly what Charlie Rossbach at Rossbach Shoe Store has been doing. Rossbach's has been in business for more than 100 years. Charlie has been a fixture in Downtown Gloversville and has a reputation for always going above and beyond for his customers. Olivia from Senator Walczyk's office stopped by and presented Charlie with a NYS Senate Empire Award. Congrats to Rossbach's for this honor and here's to another 100 years!” Congrats to our longtime Downtown Gloversville popular business!
