Jenny Lee, the pleasant Chinese owner of the store, remembers: “My husband, Lee Sheng Fong, set up the first Sheng’s showroom in Sector 19 in 1957, before moving to Sector 17 in 1967,” and then adds proudly, “It was the first shoe store that opened in Chandigarh.”

Since the very beginning, Sheng’s has provided it’s customers with genuine leather shoes. “When my husband started this venture, he made each and every shoe himself. After our wedding in 1976, I started helping him around the store off and on,” she smiles. Jenny makes it a point to attend to every customer herself. It is this personal attention that makes the old and loyal customers of the store come back here time and again. “We actually have customers who have been coming to Sheng’s since the last 50 years!” she beams.

After her husband passed away in 1995, Jenny started working at Sheng’s full time. Till date, Sheng’s is the only shoe outlet in Chandigarh that provides it’s customers with original, authentic and traditional Chinese designer shoes, made with pure and genuine leather.
