At Fleet Feet we believe in the power that running has to help us become better versions of ourselves: Better friends, better neighbors, better citizens. To bring us together, to build bridges and strengthen communities. To try something we've never tried before; to make a difference. We believe that running has the power to change everything, and at Fleet Feet we work hard every day to bring this vision to life. Fleet Feet was founded by two women in 1976. Sally Edwards and Elizabeth Jansen were two true pioneers who built the foundation for what is now a quest to become a one hundred year brand. Today, Fleet Feet has over 250 communities around the country, and counting. We're a company that prides itself on creating an amazing environment using employee, customer and community experiences. Whether that's cheering on a first-time 5K finisher, hosting a community night with the local cross country team or finding the perfect pair of shoes for their achy feet, there's opportunity at Fleet Feet for those who believe in the privilege of serving and the power of running. Our team is a group of knowledgeable, hardworking, and passionate individuals who partner with our stores to champion our brand each day. We don’t mind wearing more than a few hats and stepping in to help out wherever is needed. Our corporate model focuses on entrepreneurship, innovation, and scalable solutions for our 250+ locations. Our goal is to provide our stores with the tools, resources, and support they need to build and sustain thriving fitness communities. We are looking for professionals who are passionate about our brand and desire to contribute to efficiently build and grow successful local businesses.
