With lockers for running groups, an integrated café, and of course a lot of running shoes, Saucony’s first UK flagship is a run-to-place.
One of the world´s biggest running shoe brands didn´t have a flagship store in the UK, until now. On June 19, Saucony opened up the brand’s first store in a prime shopping spot in the capital of London´s Covent Garden, where a lot of sports brands are already settled.
Saucony wants its new store to be more than just a retail space; the brand wants to become a “meeting place for London’s running community.” The store design is therefore inspired by the river that gave Saucony its name, creating a welcoming atmosphere with natural elements and dynamic lighting, the brand said.
Inside, there are 100 lockers for running groups, an integrated café, and rooms for community events, making the store a cultural hotspot for running enthusiasts.
“Our goal was to create a place that inspires and connects—in keeping with our brand,” said Cameron Black, VP & GM Saucony EMEA.
