Dan
Owner
Dan
I play drums, do pottery on a potter’s wheel and like driving fast cars on racetracks. Being with my family in the outdoors; hiking, skiing, fishing, and walking my dogs all bring me joy! Stylish, colorful, and well-made women’s dress shoes evoke wonderful memories of growing up in the shoe business.
Marci
Buyer
Marci
I love spending time with my family and and if I could be anywhere other than here, besides with my family, I’d be on a tropical island soaking in the vitamin D. I enjoy colorful, comfortable shoes and wanted to do something in beauty or fashion when I was little, fitting, right?
Josh
Stock
Josh
I love sports! So much in fact, that I want to be a play-by-play announcer for an NBA team. I even would be at a Cavs game if I could be anywhere at this very moment. I think that makes me a fun person to be around and I easily make connections with others.
Lana
Lead Buyer
Lana
I love walks on the beach and spending time with my boys. I have the best job on the planet because I get to buy shoes for a living and I've been at Mar-Lou for over twenty years.
Mary
Floor Manager
Mary
I empathize with customers and love to have a conversation. My colleagues think I'm funny, they're wrong. I love the beach and being with my boys. My favorite style of shoes are flats.
Vanessa
Marketing & Communications
Vanessa
I try to bring a creative flair to my job. I love Florence, Italy where I lived for a short while. I prefer any shoes with a bit of heel as I'm short. My favorite shoe brand is Merrell as I find them cute, functional and comfy.
Autumn
Associate Buyer
Autumn
If I could be anywhere in the world right now I’d be in Italy or Greece but I’m very happy at Mar-Lou now! I think I’m a good sales associate because I’m not afraid to ask questions. When you ask the right questions you find the best fitting shoe.
Nathan
Facilities Manager/Sales
Nathan
I’m very patient and kind, which is perfect for this position! In addition to my responsibilities for keeping Mar-Lou’s facilities running like clockwork, I love selling SAS and Ziera because they work well for almost every customer and they’re comfortable. When I’m not at work you can find me giving back to the community by volunteering.
Yelena
Bookkeeper
Yelena
I love spending time with my daughter when I’m not at work, preferably on a warm, sunny beach wearing Fly London sandals!
Sydney
Social Media Strategist
Sydney
I love spending time with my family and hiking, especially in the Metroparks! My favorite brand would have to be ECCO because they're comfortable and stylish!
Jane
Sales Associate
Jane
I’m a very friendly, easy-going person which, in my opinion, helps me do my job, selling lots and lots of Riekers, my favorite brand! When I’m not at work I am most likely spending time with my family.
Danguole
Inventory Manager
Danguole
When I was younger I wanted to be a dentist, but now I think this is the perfect job for me! I’m meticulous, which helps me do my job well. When I’m not at work you can find me watching a good movie wearing comfortable shoes ;).
