Al Gallegos Tours the Midwest |
For such an unassuming man, Al Gallegos has developed quite a following of devoted fans who are always excited to meet the inventor of Z-CoiLŪ footwear. He enjoys meeting customers in person, too, and so he regularly visits Z-CoiL stores around the country.
In mid-May, Al toured three Midwestern cities: Kansas City, Des Moines, and Omaha, where he had a wonderful time chatting with and personally fitting dozens of customers at the local Z-CoiL stores. The stores all hosted special Meet-the-Founder events, treating visitors to cookouts and massages and fun footwear giveaways.
At the nation's top two Z-CoiL stores for the last two years running, in Urbandale (Des Moines) and Omaha, Al's visit also served as an occasion to partner with the Arthritis Foundation. Customers who purchased shoes during these Meet-the-Founder events received a $10 savings on each footwear purchase, which was then donated to the this worthy cause.
 Al also stopped in at a Machine Quilters Showcase held in Kansas City, followed the next day by a special reception at the Z-CoiL store in Overland Park, Kansas. One Z-CoiL devotee, Arlene, pictured here with Al, took a day off work as a teacher to meet him. In fact, she claims to own 17 pairs of Z-CoiL shoes! Now that's devotion! |
