Read MoreI worked for Frank as a part time employee at the Little Outlet while in college at the UofA. I heard all the stories from WWII ...my favorite being pulling a cement sink from a farmhouse into the bomber and pushing it out over Germany so they could say "we threw everything at the Germans including the kitchen sink". Frank took me fishing several times down at Parker Canyon Lake. Fantastic human being and the best boss I ever had.

I remember Mr. Chihak when I was a regular customer at the Little Outlet back in the late 80's and early 90's. He was very knowledgeable about good quality shoes and very patient and cheerful no matter how many questions you had. What I miss most is the lost art of customer service, something Mr. Chihak exemplified like few others.
