Jake had a very lengthy conversation with Josh Belisle | The Sneaker Store (NH)⬇⬇ here's what he found out

We bought the business 8.5 years ago and moved to our new location 4 years ago.

Josh worked there on and off from age 16.

They are a fit-intensive specialty shop—much different than big-box and internet stores.
Helping runners, walkers, and anyone looking for daily comfort and fitness shoes find the right gear… beyond just the shoe.

And since they are locally owned, the money you spend stays local.
Josh told Jake- "We live here, spend here, and support a ton of local community events and programs. ❤️"

🏃‍♀️ Let’s run/walk together—see you out there!

📍 Where’s Jake Wednesday?
Today Jake is at Flawless Salon & Beauty Bar—and yep… he’s totally blushing standing with all these pretty girls 😅💁‍♀️✨

📌 1025 E German St Extension, Herkimer, NY 13350
📞 1 (315) 219-5946

Here’s the vibe at Flawless:
✨ A place where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and cared for
✨ Built on genuine connections, teamwork, and a passion for helping people feel their best
✨ Beauty isn’t “just hair”—it’s a spot to relax, feel supported, and leave with renewed confidence

And the name?
💖 “Flawless” doesn’t mean perfect—it means confidence. They want every guest to feel empowered and like the best version of themselves.

They’re also all about the community:
🏡 Serving since April 2015
📍 Moved to their new location 4 years ago
🙌 They volunteer, support local causes, and work to empower women to be leaders—using their success to give back

Thanks for having us, Flawless—Jake can’t stop smiling 😄

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms in our community. 🌼 🌺

The ones who protect, provide, and put everyone else first…day in and day out.

At our agency, we talk a lot about protection…
But no policy in the world compares to the love, sacrifice, and care a mother gives her family. ❤️

Today, we celebrate YOU. 💐
Thank you for everything you do, seen and unseen. 💪

We did it! 🌅

We made it through the darkest timeline (literally). The sun sets at 5PM in New York tonight, and the next pre-5PM sunset isn’t until NOVEMBER now!

Basically, it’s pool season again 🏊 😎 🥶 😂
