Mr. QUICKIE, the Shoes and Bags Hospital was conceived by an entrepreneur named Emiliano R. Caruncho III in 1981.

In the family, there exists quite a number of ntrepreneurs. All the sisters of his mother, Mrs. Aurora Caruncho, were all entrepreneurs. They had business from mining, textiles to pawnshops. His father, on the other hand, initiated the family corporation Caruncho Construction Corporation.  

Before his own venture into entrepreneurship, Mr. Caruncho worked for his father in the construction company as an employee. There he learned quickly the ropes related to construction and likewise gained experience in management.

The opportunity of starting Mr. Quickie came from his own experiences. He discovered the need for shoes and bags repairers. At that time, shoe repairers were found mainly on the streets or near public markets. They are seen lugging around their box of tools peddling their shoe repair services to people on the streets.   These were the only people then who can repair your shoes. But Mr. Caruncho's main concern was trust and craftmanship. Can you trust these repairers with your expensive Bally shoes? Your Ferragamo shoes? Will their skill actually restore the quality of the shoe or make it worse? These are uncertainties that Mr. Caruncho encountered. And these factors likewise are applicable with other items like bags, luggage etc.  

The need was evident and the idea was further reinforced by the Existence of shoe repair shops around Asia and Europe . The concept was not new but the idea to to professionalize the industry was! The concept of a shoes and bags repair shop with trustworthy people possessing exceptional shoe repair skills working to extend the life of your shoes was developed.   THUS, MR. QUICKIE WAS BORN!!
