The Sports Retail Group (in partnership with Shoes That Fit) is launching Wishing Creek as a shoe and apparel industry buying group sourcing new pairs of shoes that will be given to kids at schools nationwide.
The Need: One in Five kids live in poverty today. Everyday there are kids going to school with old shoes that do not fit or are not in good condition that let kids be able to concentrate on their studies.
The Mission: Wishing Creek (from its locations in Las Vegas, Dallas and Raleigh) is creating a shoe industry buying group to help source brand new shoes to give to kids in schools nationwide.
The Results: Wishing Creek will be working with the shoe industry’s brands, distributors and retailers to purchase brand new shoes for kids and young adults for distribution into markets nationwide.
Whether in Las Vegas or other places they will be visiting key industry trade groups and events such as Magic, ASD, TRU Show, NSRA, PFA, The Running Event, Outdoor Retailer, Footwear Innovation Summit, Dallas Market Center, Michigan Shoe Market and others.

With its own history in consumer products (ex: Powerbar, Nature’s Bakery, Twinlab and others), the Sports Retail Group has been pioneers in helping create retail formats as well has its own distribution programs. www.SportsRetailGroup.com
