Futons For Less/The Birkenstock Store was founded in Calgary by Zeke Callaghan in '86. He made Western-style futons and sofa/bed frames and wore Birk's, because futons and Birkenstocks sandals seemed to go together. Now, 29 years later, he's the last futon manufacturer in Alberta - and has the best selection of Birkenstock sandals and clogs too.
