Fleet Feet was named to the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This ranking comprises companies based on three years of annual revenue growth. Fleet Feet ranked #2,121 on the list, good for fourth in North Carolina and 48th overall in retail.

“Service is at the core of Fleet Feet,” said Joey Pointer, Fleet Feet’s president and CEO. “Our goal, first and foremost, is to be the best resource for local running. From the beginning, we have prioritized a high-touch customer service model. Each of our local franchise owners and operators is focused on building meaningful connections within their communities, and in an increasingly digital world, these relationships matter more than ever.”

The 2024 list includes companies from every state and Puerto Rico, ranging in size from one employee up to 262,079 workers, and from roughly $2 million in 2023 revenue to $15.5 billion.

With more than 275 locations across the country, Fleet Feet is the largest specialty run retailer in the country, serving thousands of customers daily. Each store has local owners, operators, managers and employees that work to support customers. Their dedication to service also frequently extends beyond the sales floor, with each location supporting its local organizations and events whenever possible.

Fleet Feet’s commitment to service has been recognized in several notable award lists in recent years, including Fast Company’s Brands That Matter, Inc.’s Best in Business and PRWeek’s Purpose awards. Within the running industry, 10 locally owned and operated Fleet Feet stores were named to the 2024 Best Running Stores list.
