Interested in expanding your wardrobe but not shrinking your wallet? Janix Shoes at Stonecrest carries a varied selection of trendy women’s footwear, handbags, tops, dresses, and jewelry at affordable prices. We may be in a recession, but Janix Shoes is adapting in style.
Store owner Jonathan Pettis opened Janix Shoes in September of 2007 in hopes of bringing “high style without the high in prices” to Charlotte. In the heart of the “busiest shopping center on this side of town,” Janix Shoes is an open, welcoming boutique lined with sandals, heels, wedges, and flats that surround vibrant clothing and accessories. The merchandise is bold and colorful with a modern, west coast flair.

A native of Brooklyn, New York, Pettis worked in accounting at Macy’s in Manhattan and became familiar with the culture of women’s shoes and bags. “If you can survive in New York, you can survive here,” says Pettis, who has lived in Charlotte since 2005. His goals in opening the store were to be a part of the community and “give back something.” With that goal in mind, every two months Janix Shoes offers customers the opportunity to donate a pair of used shoes in exchange for 30 percent off any new pair of shoes in the store. “We want a big bang for our money,” says Pettis. The next shoe donation special will occur in mid September.
