"It's desperately needed in the area," Kay said.
Walking Tots has expanded in six months from 15 brands of shoes to 30 brands, adding about one to two brands each month, she said, while also adding to the store's substantial number of styles.
The couple attend markets in Dallas, Atlanta and Las Vegas at least twice a year to find new styles, although much of their expansion stems from customer input.
