Clogs

Jul 20, 2023

The Clogs-N-More shoe store closed its Montavilla location at 7821 SE Stark Street on July 23rd, consolidating operations to its Westmoreland location. JaMpdx will expand from their shared workspace in the back of the storefront to occupy the entire shop, developing a retail space. The unique ceramics maker predominantly sells online and at events, making this their first dedicated store.

The new retail space will take on the name Glaze and offer various products alongside the company’s hand-crafted products. “We’ll carry our own JaMpdx ceramics as well as bring in some other products we love – tea, honey, candles, some work by other artists – with intentions to expand our selection as business allows,” explained Meghan Radick of JaMpdx. Reworking the front space will take a month to complete. The JaMpdx owners anticipate holding a Grand Opening by September 1st.

Clogs-N-More and JaMpdx took over the former Pottery Fun location on Stark Street in September 2020. Meghan Radick worked for Clogs-N-More for 12 years, so when the shoe store owner found the Montavilla space with kilns in the backroom, they instantly thought of sharing a new retail location with the former employee. At the time, each business only needed part of the square footage available, and JaMpdx was primarily interested in production space. The cooperative leasing worked out for three years, but changes in both companies have shifted, presenting this new opportunity.

Expect signage to change over the next few weeks as the interior takes on a new design. Follow the JaMpdx Instagram for updates about the storefront’s transformation and opening dates. People looking for Clogs-N-More should visit their 6809 SE Milwaukie Avenue location eight miles away. That location is open seven days a week.
