SHOE REPAIR SHOPS AND SHOESHINE PARLORS (SIC 725) Establishments primarily engaged in repairing footwear or shining shoes. Also included are establishments engaged in cleaning and blocking hats. Shoe repair and shoeshine departments (owned and operated by concessionaires) in hotels, department stores, etc. are classified in this industry and treated as separate establishments. However, shoe repair shops and shoeshine parlors owned and operated as part of other businesses (e.g., hotels, department stores) are considered part of the main establishment.
