He worked part time in stock and sales; selling womens shoes, mens shoes, and kids’ shoes. Before long, he was promoted to assistant manager. Eventually, Mr. Houser was offered the manager position at Phillip Shoes in the Charlotte Town Mall. Gary was relocated several times to manage stores, once to Asheville, NC and then to Charleston, WV. After paying his dues, he was transferred back to Charlotte, NC as district manager of International Shoe Company. In 1973 Gary and a few partners had the opportunity to buy into a three-store lease operation. The department store, called Bon Marche, was headquartered in Asheville, NC. After having success with those stores, Gary decided to venture out on his own. The first Houser Shoes opened in Gastonia, NC in 1976. In 2000, Gary and his daughter, Beth, opened GB Shoe Warehouse - one of the Southeast\'s largest shoe stores. This 35,000 square foot concept store offers brand name shoes at prices up to 75 percent off regular department store prices.
