Go behind-the-scenes with Atlanta Western store, Horsetown and check out the Minnetonka style and story of owners, the Otto Meier family, in our Q&A!

What’s your Minnetonka story?
We started carrying Minnetonka products almost 22 years ago in our original or “home” store located in Marietta Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.  As we added stores in the area, first Snellville and then Locust Grove, it was only natural to include a Minnetonka selection in our new stores as well.  We are the largest full service Western and English retailer in the Georgia area and are happy to carry the largest selection of Minnetonka styles!

What is the most popular Minnetonka style at Horsetown?
Currently our best selling Minnetonka styles are the Calf Hi 3-Layer Fringe boot, Double Fringe Side Zip boot and the Kilty suede moc.  However as the cooler weather approaches, the Cally slipper and the shearling styles are both very popular with our customers.

What is your favorite style of Minnetonka boots to wear?
In our family I would have to say the Sheepskin Ankle Boot is worn year around.  Almost every member of our family owns a pair, as do many of our store managers!

How do you like to style your Minnetonka mocs?
Our lifestyle is Western Casual, and Minnetonka fits every aspect of our daily style, whether it is jeans, skirts, or dresses.  Of course that is when we are not wearing cowboy boots!

What are a few of your favorite “must see” destinations when visiting the Atlanta area?
One unique place to visit  is  ‘The World Of Coca-Cola,’ in Downtown Atlanta.  This exhibit provides a complete history of the world’s favorite soft drink!  Stone Mountain is one of the area’s largest attractions, we think of it as the Mt. Rushmore of the south.  And of course Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves baseball team and Falcon’s football is fun to visit as well.

Store Spotlight:  Minnetonka Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Store

Minnetonka goes global! Today we are excited to showcase the Minnetonka Tokyu Plaza Omotesando store in Tokyo Japan which recently opened in April 2012. The small size of this Tokyo store makes it uniquely different from most US stores measuring only 124.5 square feet of retail space!  Check out our Q&A with store employee Momoko Miyamoto and find out more about her Minnetonka style!

What is your Minnetonka story?
I purchased my first pair of Minnetonka mocs a few years ago at one of my favorite shoe stores.  I have a hard time finding shoes that fit well and was so happy to discover Minnetonka and their wide selection of sizes and styles. I instantly fell in love with my Minnetonka mocs!

How long has your store been open?
We opened our Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Store in April 2012. Over the past six months, we have truly enjoyed introducing a variety of Minnetonka products to our customers.

What is the most popular Minnetonka style at the Omotesando store?
Our most popular style is definitely the classic Kilty Suede moc.

What is your favorite pair of Minnetonka boots to wear and how do you like to style them?
I love wearing my Hi Top Back Zip Boots.  I like to pair them with a simple dress from Alternative.  Its a casual, yet very chic look.

What are a few of your favorite “must see” destinations when visiting Omotesando?
Omotesando Hills is a new high-end mall near us, Cat Street has lots of cool small boutiques to visit and LaForet Harajuku is a very trendy shopping mall in the area. I definitely suggest visiting Aoyama Street and Meiji Shrine. Also the Christmas decorations at Omotesando are always fun and so is Omotesando Echika which is a shopping mall inside of subway station.
