Ron & Nita’s is part of a great tradition of shoe stores located on the northeast corner of Main Avenue and Court Street in downtown Sidney. Once owned by the Burkhart family for 99 years (from 1864 until 1964), the store was purchased by Robert J.Kaser from Marcie Wolaver, a granddaughter of one of the Burkhart brothers. Ron McCrum became manager of the store that was then known as Kayser’s Shoes.
