Is Brick-and-Mortar Retail Worth Saving?
Online shopping keeps getting better — no denying it.
Virtual try-ons. AI recommendations. Same-day delivery.
It’s convenient. It’s fast. And it’s not going away.
But here’s the thing: we’re not fighting technology —
We’re fighting to protect something it can’t replace.
Technology doesn’t watch how you move or notice the hesitation in your voice.
It doesn’t ask the follow-up question that uncovers the real issue.
It doesn’t stay late, remember your injury from last season, or get genuinely excited when you find something that actually works.
We get thanked more for our service than the shoes we sell. And that tells us everything we need to know.
We still believe there’s value in being known.
In being fitted by someone who’s walked in your shoes — literally and figuratively.
In walking out of a store not just with a product, but with confidence, clarity, and support.
So no — we’re not trying to compete with tech.
We’re just doing what it can’t.
Rainy days don’t have to slow you down. Keep moving, stay motivated, and swing by Runaround to gear up with the perfect shoes and apparel for any weather!
At Runaround Running & Lifestyle, we believe success starts with how you think—not just how far or fast you run.
One of the most powerful influences on our team culture is the book Mindset by Carol Dweck. It shaped how we hire, train, and serve.
We teach and practice a growth mindset:
✔️ We believe that ability can be developed.
✔️ We see challenges as opportunities to grow.
✔️ We value effort, curiosity, and learning—every day.
When a customer walks into our store, our goal is to meet them where they are—and help them take a step forward. Whether you’re a beginner walking your first mile or chasing a PR, we’re here to listen, guide, and celebrate progress.
It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about staying in motion.
This mindset is at the core of our values like:
→ Pursue Growth & Learning
→ Take Initiative
→ Embrace & Drive Change
That’s why we’re trusted—not just for shoes, but for honest support and long-term guidance.
In 2008, I was featured in Men’s Health Magazine — part of their Belly Off Club.
But the real story didn’t start there. It started years earlier, as an overweight kid who was tired of sitting on the sidelines. I didn’t just want to lose weight, I wanted to feel different. Think different. Be different.
And the truth is, changing your body is one thing. Changing your mindset? That’s the part that sticks.
Running gave me that. It wasn’t about speed, it was about movement, direction, and building something one step at a time.
It helped me see what I was capable of and eventually, it led me here.
That’s why I started Runaround.
Because I know what it feels like to take the first step. To not know where to start.
And I know how life-changing it is when the right support shows up at the right time.
This store isn’t just about shoes. It’s about what they represent. Progress. Confidence. The power to move forward — no matter where you’re starting from.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or ready for a change… I’ve been there. And I built this place for you.

This time of year always feels like a reset. Some of our team members head back to school or into new seasons of life, and we’re grateful for the time we’ve had with them.
But with that shift comes opportunity.
We’re looking to add someone new to the team. Not just to fill a shift—but to bring value. Someone who wants to be part of something meaningful, learn our industry, and help people in a way most retail jobs don’t even think about.
This is a place where we take the time to listen, to learn what’s going on in someone’s life, and to help them walk out the door feeling better—literally.
If you’re curious, detail-oriented, and enjoy connecting with people, this could be the start of something more than a job. We’ll teach you the rest.
Stop in and ask for an application—or message us if you want to talk more about what this role could look like.
We’re not hiring to fill a hole—we’re hiring because our community needs more people who care.
