ABOUT US
How We Started
Since the inception of locally owned Guarantee Shoe Center in 1953 on the corner of 21st and Chester Avenue in downtown Bakersfield, it's been a family affair.
Third generation owner, Rosco Rolnick carries on the proud tradition that his grandfather Nat Slepyan started many years ago. The philosophy was simple, "We care about our customers, our employees and our community". That mindset continues today under the watchful eye of Rosco.
Rosco has an eye for detail and it shows in every aspect of the business. From the hand painted mural (insert mural photo) on the south exterior depicting turn of the century Bakersfield to the colorful hand painted floors inside the store that seem to guide the customer through an elaborate display of shoes and accessories. Shopping at Guarantee Shoe Center is a unique and gratifying experience!
According to Rosco, "Something that my grandfather started from day one, we put an emphasis on service. We measure the customer's feet to ensure maximum comfort. We carry very large inventory of name brand shoes in almost every size. What we don't have, we'll be glad to special order ."
