History

Established in 1939.

George Yodgee, a shoe repairer by trade, opened his first ‘shoe repair’ store in Commercial Rd, South Yarra. After a short time, he introduced into the store a small range of leather bags and luggage, along with some ladies’ and men’s footwear. He became one of Melbourne’s first ‘while u wait repairers’. He employed up to 6 repairers, including some of his eight children. In 1965, George shifted across the road to our present site at 204 Commercial Rd. George’s daughters worked in the front of the shop and were well known and liked in the area. In 1975, Lois Yodgee, George’s daughter bought the business. She built and grew the business and then sold the business to Gary and Anne in 1986. Gary has continued to develop the Yodgee family business. Yodgee has become known as the shop that sells a large range of good quality and comfortable footwear including Birkenstock, Merrell, RM Williams, Dr. Martens, MBT, Fitflop and many more brands.
