There are now 30 stores from coast to coast. "They were in the right place at the right time with the right product," says local store manager Fred Cures. "It's quite a success story." The Athlete's Foot. one ot " terloo's nun success stories. is again expanding - this time right here in town. The first The Atttlete's Foot store was opened nine years ago at " King St. N. by 'ocal,e?trtpre- Ciuclura and Marr expanded their retail business a couple of years ago to include ladies' ac- tivewear shops, called Lady‘s A Chan-p. There are now 20 such stores across Canada. And that's not all. This year the partners decided to launch "the male version of Lady's A Champ," Curren explains. These stores are called he Frat "use. Here in Waterloo. Cluclura and Mart have tried something unique. Last month they opened one of each of their stores in Waterloo Square. Lady's A Champ, The Athlete's Foot and The Frat House are conveniently located side by side, with connecting doorways. "It's the first time all three have been together under one roof," says Curren. "We feel with what we have to offer here we can fill the gap that isn't being filled elsewhere in Kitchener-Water- loo." The Athlete's Foot offers athletic footwear for children, men and women; in Lady's A Champ, women will find items such as Danskins. tennis gear, bathing suits, polo wear and hand-sewn deck shoes; and men will find a complete assortment of casual wear in The Frat House. Ciuciura and Man are using the 34 King St. N. site as office headquarters. Their warehouse is located on Colby Drive in Water- loo. Curren manages The Athlete's Foot and The Frat House, while Donal Ellis is the manager of the local Lady's A Champ. All three stores are company owned, but many of the other outlets through- out Canada are franchised. "We were both looking for a new challenge." says Kennedy, who runs Kennedy Catering of Water- loo with her husband. "Liz has always been in the retail business and has been so successful at it. We thought it would be nice to open a business on our own" Rogers and her husband own Smitty‘s Paar cnke [louse Tavern and Pierre’s Steak House lad Tavern, both located here in town.

M thrtiqty*e ot Kitchener. an elementary school teacher with the local school board, is combin- ing her love at teaching with a new business endeavor. Just this month she opened a - Tyatrttttg Centres franchise in the Square 22 building in Uptown Waterloo. When she first learned about Royal Training Centres and their approach to teaching, Outingdyke was impressed and decided to purchase a franchise locally. There are currently six other centres in northern Ontario. and Outingdyke plans to soon open four more outlets in the Twin City and Guelph areas. - - The centres feature a variety of training programs. The Waterloo outlet is starting out with driver education. "We're offering a com- plete course tor a low. low cost," Outingdyke explains. The pro- gram, which is approved by the Ontario Safety League. includes 25 hours of classroom instruction as well as eight hours at the wheel. "it's the equivalent to ones taught in high schools," she adds. In fact, the high-school popula- tion is her main market right now. It's an attractive package for students who wish to learn to drive immediately and who want to avoid the waiting lists for driver training which many area high schools are faced with, she notes. The course is available during day-time or evening classes, in either tour-day or eight-day pro- grams, ""lt‘s an excellent course. It teaches totally defensive driv. ing." 7 7 Outingdyke stresses, however, that the course is not Just for high school students. n's open to any- one. And private lessons are also available. In the future, the local centre will offer a special senior citizens driver training course, called "55 Alive." And within two weeks, anyone who wishes to learn to drive a bus will be able to obtain a Class B licence through the Min- istry-approved Royal Training program. As well as offering driver train- ing, Outingdylte also plans to specialize in computer courses. Beginning in September. local residents of all ages can enroll in basic and intermediate level mi- crocomputing courses. The centre will be equipped with Commodore 64 computers. "Programs will be suitable for students, housewives and business people," she says. Socrates Enterprises Inc. is the name of the company which Out- ingdyke formed to purchase the Royal Training franchises. She chose this name for a very impor- tant reason. “I believe Socrates was a great teacher," explains Outingdyke. The Greek philosopher who lived from 469439 B.C. used a teaching method which encouraged people to think for themselves. "I have used this method, and it's very effective. I don't believe in students just regurgitating facts. If I can teach them to think for themselves, I believe f have done them Justice."

Her husband Michael. who owns the Grandm- Lee's Bakery and Eating Place in downtown Kitchener, will oversee the franchises.
