Mr. Seon Chun and Mrs. Young Chun, immigrants from South Korea, have owned and operated Kensington Shoe Repair & Dry Cleaning for approximately 20 years. Their shop is on Antique Row at 3772 Howard Avenue. In addition to shoe repair and dry cleaning, they provide laundry service and alterations at reasonable prices. Their services include cleaning unusual items, such as table cloths and winter jackets. The shop is open 6 days a week, Mon.-Sat., 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. During breaks in the workday, Mr. and Mrs. Chun can be seen walking throughout Old Town. They are the proud parents of two grown children. The couple enjoys chatting with their customers, who increasingly are returning to offices for work. This trend is, of course, good for the business!. Parkwoodians are always welcome.

I have had shoes repaired at Kensington Shoe Repair several times over the years. These days, many shoes are not designed to be resoled, unfortunately. Mr. Chun does a great job. You may see him walking their dog, if they still have dog. The dog sleeps at the door or in an armchair while they are working.
