The Viennese running specialist WEMOVE, a long-time Sport 2000 dealer, has joined Running Experts Europe as the network’s first Austrian partner. The two WEMOVE running stores in downtown Vienna and in the Westfield Donau Zentrum shopping mall offer amateur and professional runners the most comprehensive range of premium running products in the Austrian capital city. In addition to an exclusive selection of running shoes, apparel and equipment, WEMOVE Running organizes running events that strengthen the community spirit. “We are very pleased to be part of Running Experts Europe and, as a long-standing Sport 2000 partner, to now also represent the voice of Austrian running on the committee,” said one of the two WEMOVE managing directors, Michael Wernbacher.
The members of Running Experts Europe particularly benefit from the industry exchange with other retailers at eye level and the synergies of cross-border cooperation. Within Running Experts Europe, the Product Group EU deals more intensively with the area of goods/products. The focus is on the activities around the exclusive running specialty products (RSP), which have a prominent position in the Running Experts product range.
“Pooling knowledge and working together on the further development of specialized, stationary sports retailers – that’s the path Sport 2000 is taking,” commented Dr. Holger Schwarting, CEO of Sport 2000 Austria. The growing network of experts makes clear that „the Sport 2000 countries are moving ever closer together internationally,“ he said. “This brings us one step closer to our goal of being perceived internationally as One Sport 2000.”
