In Their Words: “Our mission and vision are at the core of our culture. And the saying goes, ‘Culture eats strategy for breakfast.’ Our vision at Fleet Feet Greenville is to S.E.R.V.E. This means be humble servants, educate our customers, run together as a community, value the act of giving and empower our community. 

“We live out each part of our vision daily, but we really enjoy the act of giving. Each month we have a local charity partner that we educate our community on through group runs and social channels. We will also donate a portion of our monthly sales to those community partners each month. In the single act of giving, we get to live out the five points of our vision. There is no better feeling than giving to those what has been given to you.” 

What the Award Means to Them: “Blessed, humbled and honored to be among the best in the industry. We do not do what we do for the accolades or recognition. If anything, we tend to shy away from it at times. The culture in our store is customer and community first. Each day the team comes to work with warm hearts ready to make a difference in a person’s day. We are just thankful we get to use running as the generator for all things good in our community. We will continue to stick to our mission and vision to make an impact on our community for the good. At four-years old, we feel we are only at mile four of a marathon and the best we have to offer is still to come.”
