Our Story

Two Decades of Service That Steps Above

For the past 20 years, we've worked hard to distinguish Birkenstock Northwest from others by providing unparalleled customer service from the moment you walk in until you leave with the perfect pair of shoes.

"Locally Owned" I have spent 45 years in Footwear and Retail here in Clark County, and every day I am inspired to make our business better for my customers. It is my promise to you, that we will offer only the best products, outstanding customer service, with an immaculately maintained facility inside and out. My sincere gratitude for your ongoing patronage. On behalf of myself and my staff, "We look forward to your next visit!" ~ Brian Haberman, Owner

An Ode to John's

The story of Birkenstock Northwest was being written long before our doors opened in 2001. Two decades prior, owner Brian Haberman and his parents purchased John’s Shoes and Clothing on Main Street in downtown Battle Ground. John's carried a wide variety of merchandise including leather saddles, tack, work wear, western boots, denim, and other clothing.

John's was an important part of the Battle Ground community for many years - serving families in need, and partnering with local businesses in Clark County. Here at Birkenstock Northwest, we aim to embody the spirit of John's - providing top notch customer service and building relationships with people from all over the world. If you remember shopping at John's please come say hello and share your story with us!
