Who We Are
we're not just a running store
For over 25 years, Fleet Feet Chicago has been a staple in the Chicago Running Community. In 1996, Dave and Lisa Zimmer were just kids with a vision and guts. Today, they own 8 stores in the Chicago and Rockford areas, and have built community through their running clubs, training programs, racing team, events, and more.
Staff, family, and friends all fall under the same category in Dave and Lisa’s eyes. Randy Needleman, their very first customer became their very first employee followed by hundreds more over the years with their individual strengths and skills who helped to build and create the Fleet Feet Chicago culture and community. Many of these wonderful people who dedicated so much of their lives to building Fleet Feet Chicago remain part of the business today.
The continued success of Fleet Feet Chicago is all built on the support of the customers and runners who come through these doors. Runners and workers have become friends, even and in some cases, met their spouse through the doors of Fleet Feet Chicago.
Many of the people in the industry 25 years ago are still a part of this industry today and still put their trust and belief in Fleet Feet Chicago after 25 years. Together, with Dave and Lisa, they helped rewrite the playbook of how to build a community. Together they brought a new level of professionalism to this industry. Together they raised the bar on what running shoe companies and customers expect from a running store.
Fleet Feet Chicago was born from a passion for running and nurtured by its community. In person or not, we are running with you today. We believed it then and we believe it now - Running Changes Everything.
