Fleet Feet started when Sally Edwards and Elizabeth Jansen opened the first store with a simple belief: running has the power to change lives. Today, we’re a national running retailer with more than 285 locally connected stores across the country, including both company-owned and franchise locations. Together, we combine the reach and resources of a national brand with deep roots in the local communities we serve. Each store is built to be a local running hub, a place where runners, walkers and anyone looking to move more can find encouragement, expert guidance and the right gear for their goals. We meet people where they are through personalized outfitting, training programs, community events and a customer experience that starts with listening. It’s all grounded in our belief that Running Changes Everything®. When people feel seen, supported and confident in how they move, they’re ready to take the next step — whatever that looks like for them. Whether you work in a store, own and operate a local Fleet Feet or support the brand from our Store Support Team in Carrboro, N.C., we share the same purpose: to inspire the runner in everyone.
