RUN FOR YOUR LIFE TO OPEN NEW MIDTOWN LOCATION
Charlotte, NC – A new year, and a brand-new opportunity for runners in Charlotte! Run For Your Life, Charlotte’s oldest specialty running shop, will open a new midtown location in the King’s Court Shopping Center, at 901 South Kings Drive, Suite 100. Run For Your Life owner and president Tim Rhodes says he expects the move to happen this spring.
The King’s Court Shopping Center is home to other long-time Charlotte favorites like Great Harvest Bread Company and the Melting Pot Restaurant, and lies right across the street from the Little Sugar Creek Greenway.
“This central location in the booming midtown area right here on the Greenway will make it even easier for runners to get to us,” said Rhodes, “and the fresh, laid-back atmosphere of the new store design will make it as easy to shop as it is to run by for a visit to say hello.”
Rhodes said the original Run For Your Life – Dilworth location will close once the new midtown location opens.
“Dilworth was a great area for us for a very long time,” added Rhodes. “The new midtown Run For Your Life location will be just as convenient for folks there, and even more so for our runners in Uptown, Myers Park, Cotswold and other close in neighborhoods.”
