LAKEPORT, Calif. – It has been six months since Kellee Bussard received a loan through the city of Lakeport’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Business Loan Program to expand The Shoe Box, a shoe and accessory store located at 997 11th St.

The loan is helping the business create one new job and expand its inventory of shoes, boots, handbags and accessories.

The Shoe Box has established itself as the local go-to for quality footwear and accessories, exceeding the expectations and projections identified prior to the loan application.
 
A lifetime member of the community, Bussard plans to continue to grow The Shoe Box by cultivating a feel for her customers’ desire.

She excels in assisting her clientèle with the discovery of new, high-quality items.

“Footwear has been my passion for a very long time and after years of experience in the industry, I was poised to open my own business and provide a service in my home town. The city of Lakeport’s CDBG Business Loan Program helped me do that,” Bussard said.
