A few years ago, Maria and her partner Bill combined their expertise to create something extraordinary – a shoe store that not only sells footwear but also embodies a passion for quality and customer satisfaction. With Maria’s extensive retail experience and Bill’s in-depth knowledge of footwear, Footwear Today was born.
Maria was born in Colombia and had childhood dreams of entrepreneurship that fueled her ambition to start her own business. Despite facing challenges along the way, including relocating the store from Kissimmee to Boca Raton, Maria remained steadfast in her commitment to providing the best products and service to her customers.
At Footwear Today, we take pride in curating a diverse collection of shoes that cater to every style and occasion. From trendy sneakers to elegant heels, we have something for everyone. We understand that shoes are more than just accessories – they are a reflection of your personality and taste.
Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Maria’s resilience shone through as she adapted her business model to serve her loyal customers directly. Now, with plans to open a new brick-and-mortar store, Maria is ready to take Footwear Today to new heights.
Maria’s dedication to her craft extends beyond just selling shoes. Maria is SAM certified under the 8(a) program. SAM Unique Entity ID Number PL2MY2U78UG2. She has applied for multiple minority-owned women’s business certifications, including pending approval for The National Minority Supplier Council (NMSDC). These certifications underscore Maria’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in the business world.

ABOUT
A few years later we put our minds into starting a shoe store. With my retail experience, and Bill’s footwear knowledge, I thought it would be very exciting for me to start a business. It has always been a dream for me to start my own business. I grew up very poor in Colombia and what an honor it is for me to become a successful business woman.
I opened a 4200 sf shoe store in Kissimmee Florida. I was in the location for over 12 years. I decided to move the business to Boca Raton, Bill went to college in Boca Raton and we both like South Florida. Then covid came and I inventoried our shoes. Currently I am looking for a location. But in the meantime I have a large database of loyal customers that I directly sell to. I am seeking new accounts and once I reach an appropriate inventory level I am planning to open a brick and mortar store.
Since inception of 2012, I have had majority ownership of Sun Atlantic Group LLC, dba Footwear Today.
Recently I applied for multiple minority owned women’s business certifications.
I have pending approval for:
The National Minority Supplier Council (NMSDC)
SAM certification for the 8(a) program.
Please contact me if you are interested in selling your line to me.
