Market Street Athlete

Market Street Shoes December 15th, 2009

Greetings and Holiday wishes,

Market Street Shoes is making some big changes.

We have decided to move Market Street Athlete... into Market Street Shoes! Really. No, really. We are bringing the best running and trail product across the street, across Market Street, across that great four-lane divide, and will house it all under one roof at Market Street Shoes. Hooray!

We were given the chance to expand our stock room and seized the opportunity to do so, allowing us to showcase all of our product at one location, which we have previously been unable to do. What does that mean? It means that we will be closing our Market Street Athlete location, but the benefit for us and for you, our customer, is great. What it means no more running back and forth across the street looking for this shoe or that. And it means no more sending you back and forth across the street looking for this shoe or that.

Of course it also means that we can't bring everything over, but we will bring over the things that are most important to you. Our running section, for both men and women, is very strong and has a very loyal following (thank you for the support!), so it will be coming over in its entirety. The best trail running and light-hiking shoes will be coming over as well. And certainly, a selection of our running socks and accessories will make the journey across the great divide, too.

What's not going to make the cut? Well... what doesn't make the cut is going to go on sale, big sale, 30% to 60% off sale! Yeah! Starting immediately, as in Wednesday, December 16th, tomorrow, the day after today, the day of the really big sale at Market Street Athlete. That means things like shoes, socks, gloves, base-layer, and outerwear from all of your favorite brands at 30% to 60% off, just in time for the holidays, whoo hoo! We'll run this sale 'til our shoes fall off, or we run out of things to sell, whichever comes first.

In the end, it is a big change, we recognize that, but we feel strongly that it is a great change. We've had Market Street Athlete for two years and have spent a great deal of that time telling folks that if we had had the room, we would've just expanded our offerings at Market Street Shoes. So, here is our chance to do just that, and we're excited, and we hope that you'll be excited as well.

To good health and with warm holiday wishes,

Market Street Shoes
