Heritage Ohio Names Geiger’s in Lakewood “Main Street Business of the Year”

Geiger’s Clothing & Sports in Lakewood, Ohio was honored today as the Heritage Ohio Main Street Business of the Year for its revitalization and preservation efforts. Chas and Gordon Geiger accepted the award at the Heritage Ohio Annual Conference Awards luncheon at Sammy’s Metropolitan Ballroom in Cleveland, OH.

Heritage Ohio Executive Director, Joyce Barrett, stated that Geiger’s is a model Main Street business, noting that “… their windows are always handsome and inviting. They maintain a thoroughly up-to-date web presence, using e-mail blasts to their substantial customer database to promote sales, provide information, and draw people to their beautifully-merchandised store. Both the front and back entrances to their buildings are meticulously maintained with attractive awnings, decorative, effective lighting, clean sidewalks, sparkling glass, and floral displays. Chas and Gordon can usually be found at the store, providing knowledgeable, personal service to their customers.”

LakewoodAlive board member and Downtown Lakewood committee chair, Paula Reed nominated Geiger’s Clothing & Sports for this honor. “As I filled out the nomination application, it soon became apparent to me that the Geigers’ surely would be selected to win. Their work in areas under evaluation i.e., building preservation, Downtown Lakewood revitalization and community involvement is extremely impressive when considered all at once.”

Geiger’s Clothing & Sports is located in the geographical center of Downtown Lakewood at 14710 Detroit Avenue. Geiger’s offers a wide variety of high quality sporting goods and active wear for the family and classic clothing for men. Founded as a haberdashery in 1932, today brothers Chas and Gordon Geiger and their wives, Patti and Susan, represent the third generation of Geigers to provide a consistently delightful and personalized shopping experience in the heart of Lakewood’s historic business district. Operating from its original location, Geiger’s now has two other stores each located in historic downtown areas in Rocky River and Chagrin Falls, OH.

Downtown Lakewood is a LakewoodAlive program to revitalize Lakewood’s primary commercial district using the National Main Street Four-Point Approach™.

Heritage Ohio, the oversight organization of Ohio’s Main Street program, is the leading statewide, not-for-profit preservation organization, dedicated to encouraging and assisting people and organizations to protect and preserve Ohio’s heritage and cultural resources.
