Fleet Feet Fayetteville was recently honored as one of the top running stores across the country at The Running Event, North America’s premier run & outdoor specialty conference and trade show.
The 2024 Best Running Stores garnered more than 12,500 nominations from customers, employees, and industry professionals, representing nearly 250 retailers and 29 states across the U.S. Through a detailed evaluation process, stores were assessed on criteria such as community engagement, sustainability efforts, inclusivity, mentorship opportunities, employee benefits and innovation. The final determination of winners included secret shopper evaluations of the in-store experience.
“It’s truly inspiring to see how these retailers continue to uplift their communities and drive the running industry forward,” said Christina Henderson, Event Director of TRE in a press release. “We’re thrilled to honor and celebrate their incredible achievements tonight.”
During the Industry Awards Dinner at TRE held in November, 63 Best Running Stores were celebrated for their exceptional contributions to their communities and the running industry.
