In 1984 Ken Grady Sr. founded Grady’s Orthopedic Service from his home. A year later he opened the first Grady’s Shoes storefront in downtown Peterborough.

They opened their own storefront at 231 King Street back in 2018, initially as storage, office space, and a pickup location, officially relocating there in 2022. Congratulations Ken, Tony, and Kelli on your incredible legacy, both through your business and as leaders in our community. It's time for Halloween in the Booro.
