Levingers
Dry clean & shoe clinic
Background Information
Mr Henry Levinger started a small business, Levingers Expert Shoe Repairs, in End Street, Doornfontein, Johannesburg soon after arriving in South Africa.
His son, Peter Levinger, who qualified as a medical doctor and later a pharmacist, had an urge to continue Mr Henry Levinger’s legacy after his passing in 1981.
Peter’s calling into the business and vision allowed him to grow the business and start the dry cleaning service, expanding the group to three more stores together with his sister Margret.
He realized the value in shoe repairs and why his dad was so passionate about this shoe repair business. With his new-found passion and skill, Peter soon gained the reputation of being a master cobbler and became well known for his orthopaedic work on shoes for adults and children.
