By bringing top brands like Lululemon and Vuori, the Manhattan running company has successfully broken the line between elite performances and everyday lifestyle. These new additions prove that you don’t have to sacrifice aesthetics for athletics.
Trey Vernon, owner of the Manhattan Running Company, believes that the core value driving his store is to empower others.
“As footwear outfitters, our primary goal is for customers to feel comfortable, confident and supported so they can achieve their activity goals. Whether that is simply the alleviation of pain for everyday life, accomplishing an ultramarathon, or anything in between,” he said. “For our customers & community, this is manifested by understanding that each individual has unique feet, needs, preferences and goals.”
The importance that MRC puts on making sure its customers are satisfied has grown further than just the shoe market. MRC sells just about anything that helps people achieve their fitness goals. This includes apparel, insoles, socks, sunglasses, hydration products and event nutritional products.
By having more than just shoes, MRC has grown in its retail. Sometimes, fitness becomes easier when you are dressed in bright colors. It allows for the look good, feel good mindset. MRC has taken this into account by adding Lululemon and Vuori to its store.
“We wanted the apparel brands we carry to match the footwear we carry,” Vernon said. “Having these 2 premium brands helps to make MRC the only place in Manhattan to find these products.”
This new addition has helped spark the variety of customers visiting MRC.
“We now see a lot more of the college-aged customer who come in looking for Lulu or Vuori and then discover that we have a great selection of shoes and other items that they might want,” he said.
