Run On! plans to open running-shoe store in San Antonio

Run On! will launch its first San Antonio location later this year.

Dallas-based Run On! will open the new store in the Alta Vista Shopping Center in the Stone Oak area. The store will sell ASICS, Brooks, Mizuno, New Balance, Nike and Saucony-branded shoes and accessories. The new store also will offer marathon training classes to San Antonio runners.

This will be Run On!’s fifth store location — all of which are in Texas.

Michele Allen will serve as the San Antonio’s store co-owner and manager. She has worked for Run On! for six years and has experience managing the company’s Coppell and Richardson stores. Most recently, Allen was the senior buyer for all of the company’s Texas stores.

The company’s other stores are located in Dallas and McKinney.

“We have been contemplating a fifth store for the past year and the opportunity to open our first San Antonio location evolved rather quickly,” says Run On! founder Bob Wallace.

“With Michele relocating to the area, it gave us a natural leader and partner for the store, and we are looking forward to opening the doors and expanding Run On!’s brand in another region of Texas,” he adds.

Bob and Rebecca Wallace founded Run On! in 1995. For the past three years, Run On! has been voted the best running store in Texas by the readers of Competitor Texas magazine. It also holds the distinction of being ranked as one of the top 50 running stores in the country by the Running Network LLC and Footwear Intelligence. -source

Run On! must be doing great since they're opening their 5th store. Seems like there's a growing market for running shoes. I've heard that New Balance Running Shoes are great!
