Being in existence for over 25 (?) years, I can't imagine they are still growing. With Bill getting older, the competition from online & other Mass. stores, the clothing line going under, and I imagine the rents at Faneuil Hall being a gazillion $$'s a month by now....how well can it be doing? Does it do well outside of the two weeks surrounding Boston? How long will this iconic store exist?
You did notice the header on the banner ad on the home page right? If not - it is going out of business.
BR sold the clothing line a few years ago and I'm the store is a solid earner year round.
Bill, 1992 called. They said they want their running clothes back.
Ah ... the banner says the Bill Rodgers Running Center is "still going strong", and it is.
The clothing line was a separate business and the BRRC wasn't even carrying the clothing from BR in the past few years as the quality went south.
Retail at Faneuil Hall remains challenging, but the store holds its own and continues to move forward in its mission to serve runners with exceptional service and low prices.
Plus ... the pictures are awesome!
