2041-04-30 - Running Fit grows up!

I am excited and proud that the Running Specialty Group acquired Running Fit to be part of their retail team of 58 of the top running stores in the country. As far as changes, the major change will be in the back end of the store, the way the buying and receiving is done. The brand Running Fit will stay Running Fit. Our customers (Our friends), will be greeted by the same Running Fit store managers and staff and the Running Fit culture will carry on! That said, the acquisition will allow Running Fit to have a wider selection of inventory, more colors and more styles due to the collective inventory and resources the Running Specialty Group will bring to the table.

The Running Fit crew numbers about 100 full and part staff between the 8 stores, the acquisition will help out in the H.R. area, offering better and more affordable benefits.

My partner Steve will continue to work with vendor relations and managing the retail products carried by Running Fit. My son Trevor Step, will continue to be Running Fit's retail General Manager. I will continue to develop and run the Event Company, offering the running community fun, imaginative events to keep our running goals alive and motivate us out the door! The event division will carry on as a separate company but the synergy of what goes on between Running Fit retail and the events won't change.

At Running Fit, the excitement we get from sharing our passion for running comes from motivating, outfitting and keeping you or preparing you to be life-long runners through our fit process, classes, clinics, and weekly store runs. Running Fit is here to keep your fire burning!

Run forever,

Randy Step (An admitted obsessed runner), and the passionate crew at Running Fit!
