Cedar Mill welcomes Foot Traffic

It’s been a while since any exciting new retail came to “downtown” Cedar Mill. We’re pleased to welcome this successful local business and we’re sure they’ll attract customers with their products, their approach, and the many outreach activities and events they are planning.

Morgan Saltenberger is the manager for the Cedar Mill location, and he is also a professional trainer who will be coordinating a variety of activities at this location. One of the first events is Foot Traffic University, beginning on July 25. Weekly group workouts and a variety of marked courses help beginning and expert runners train for marathons and more. Details on the website or in the store.

They also sponsor races, and a weekly group run/walk for all abilities on Mondays at 6 pm starting at the Cedar Mill shop on fun, scenic courses around our area. Each store features a “hidden” tap for local beer, and you get free beer once you complete the course!

Of course, their main focus is selling shoes and other gear. They have highly trained staff to help anyone find the right shoes for their needs. They say, “walker or runner, fast or slow, each and every one of you deserve a pair of great fitting shoes.”

David Pietka and his partners purchased the building that formerly housed Apollo Pools, along with the vacant lot to the south on NW Dale. He and Sean Rivers own Foot Traffic, which has three other locations in downtown, southeast and northeast Portland. There’s still space in the building for more businesses—retail or professional—and they are also working on plans to develop something on the vacant lot. Contact Morgan if you are interested in being a part of this happening location.

The Cedar Mill store is located at 13306 NW Cornell Rd. Hours are 10-7 Monday-Friday; 10-6 Saturday; and 11-5 Sunday. Contact them by phone at 503-350-0294 and visit them online at foottraffic.us.

Documentary filmed at The Wine Cellar

Erin Palmer, owner of The Wine Cellar in Cedar Mill, says, “June 25 was a very fun day at the shop. A team of videographers and producers were here filming for the upcoming documentary Red, White, and Black: the Other Oregon Wine Story.

“We were delighted and honored to be selected as the location for the shoot; selected because we were the first retail shop for Abbey Creek Winery. Bertony Faustin (owner/winemaker of Abbey Creek) and Andre Mack (owner/winemaker of Mouton Noir Winery) are the featured players in this film about minority winemakers in the Oregon wine industry, which was directed by local actor and director, Jerry Bell Jr.

“The interviews have been excellent, and I’m excited to see the final film. We are hoping to host a showing here upon release, which will be around the start of 2016. To follow the progress of the film, you can like the Facebook page: Red, White & Black—a documentary about minority winemakers in Oregon.

The Wine Cellar is located at 525 NW Saltzman in the “triangle” center. They have a great schedule of tastings, spaces for private events, and more: visit them online at portlandwinecellar.com.
