For the fifth year Open Pantry was involved in the MS Walk for the Racine/Kenosha area.. Corporate began the challenge with a goal to sell more sneakers in 2007 than in 2006. Sell 20,000 Sneakers! There were many challenges to be in the top 5 sneaker sales. This resulted in the Crystal Lake, IL store to sell enough sneakers in one week to rise from 11th place to 5th place and in 2 of those days, 150 sneakers were sold by one person!
After all was said and done, the results were tallied and Open Pantry sold more than 22,000 sneakers from 28 locations throughout Wisconsin and Illinois which was donated to MS.
