Hanleys has been operating for nearly 20 years …

It began as a shoe shop on the first floor of an 1860’s building that originally served as the Ancaster Hotel Stables. Ann’s shoe store flourished for ten years before she decided to expand the business by adding a clothing boutique on the second floor. Carol Campbell was enlisted to create and operate the second floor, affectionately known as The Loft. The addition of clothing, denim and coats has made Hanleys a destination for head to toe wardrobe curation.

Ann opened Hanleys with only a few shoe brands, and since has expanded her business to include many high quality shoe and handbag lines, as well as large clothing and denim departments on the second floor.
