Bruce has been a mentor to many businesses over the years! His presence in the downtown core has always been positive, and encouraging. He has played a large role in the organization, being past president of SDDA, and always available for words of advice and leadership. I am certain that the person who purchases Rieker by The Shoe Tree will receive the utmost support and will be welcomed into the downtown Sydney community with open arms. We wish Bruce and his family all the best, and we encourage anyone interested in purchasing this legacy to reach out to us with any questions they might have about#DowntownSydney
