I went to the new Columbus Running Company store yesterday to check it out...I liked the store and plan to buy my next pair of shoes there.

Did you get a Landreth or the DS Trainer?
No dude he didn't say he went to Dick's or MC Sports or the other million stores that he could buy Asics from. He went to a store with brands that support the US running community.
I didn't buy anything just went over to check it out. Plan to get my next pair of shoes there when I need a new pair.
Oh, like Mizuno & Puma...USA USA USA!
a running store without Asics is like a Malt Shop without ice cream.
I use to like the old Tiger shoes...but why do they not carry Asics....with 3 stores now (dublin, Pickerington and now Westerville) you think the Asics Rep would make sure Asics shoes on in the stores...Is there a reason the Asics Rep not opening them....
Muzino, Nike and Adidas are shoes I would buy there if they didn't carry Asics!
Hopefully, runners will support these stores as they try to do alot for the Columbus area running community.
Good luck!!
How many times is the same mindless idiot going to come on here and tell us that this store is the pantheon of running. We get it, you are going to buy your shoes there.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!
I love how people get on here and bash each other. Keep it up. It sounds like since they don't have asics they may as well close up shop.
I own a running store and if I could get away with not carrying Asics I would. They absolutely do not give a rat's ass about specialty running stores, especially the smaller ones. This is reflected in their "gold account" status which is basically impossible to attain unless you have more than one store. Bottom line---I hate Asics but have to carry them because enough bonehead runners think they can't run in anything else.
Grand Opening - Saturday, May 10th - http://www.columbusrunning.com
Good luck! You guys do a great job of promoting high school running!
if the asics rep for OH is the same for MI , he's a lazy tool. period. furthermore if the owner of this group of stores already has an asics account, he can order and drop-ship. No need to deal with the rep.
Existing Cbus gold accounts won't allow CRC to open with Asics.
Yes and no on reps. Non-gold accounts have the MI rep and the gold accounts have a rep from Marysville OH.
The # of stores do not matter with attaining gold account. You must carry running, VB, wrestling, spikes, apparel, walking, team, accessories etc. The full line.
I plan to go Saturday for the grand opening....ASICS are a fool not to open the Columbus Running Company with three stores - http://www.columbusrunning.com
Guys Good Luck......Keep the Faith....Columbus Needs Your Support of Running....
