The Sporty Runner building is for lease! 4,128 sq ft in downtown Conway at 1016 Van Ronkle St. This is a great downtown retail location just 1 block North of Oak St. Several established businesses are already on Van Ronkle St with lots of foot traffic. No history of street flooding at this location, and Van Ronkle St was completely rebuilt in 2020-21, so there shouldn’t be any street construction for many years.

The building is 2 connected store fronts with a single front entrance and passageways in both the retail space and back room, making this a perfect location for a business within a business. Large stockroom area, office, 2 kitchen areas and 2 restrooms. All lighting has been converted to LED. Fixtures included with lease.

Asking $14.95/sq ft, minimum 3 year lease, triple net NNN. Contact Don Starr at 501-472-1829 for more information or to view.

If you know anyone that’s interested in locating their business in vibrant downtown Conway, be sure to share this with them!

Sporty Runner Customers,

Thank you for 26 great years of business. We are overwhelmed with the response to our store closing/retirement sale, and it was great to see so many of you and share your memories of the store.

We have reached that stage where we have completed our sale, and it’s time to permanently close the store. We’re going to take a week away from the store to rest, and then we’ll be completing the closing process and preparing our building to get rented to new tenants. Thanks again for making the last 26 years so memorable.

Linda and Don Starr

Wow! Thank you for the great response to the first day of our retirement sale! It was so nice seeing so many old friends and customers and we appreciate the well wishes for our upcoming retirement.

But we aren’t done yet!!!

If you didn’t make it in yesterday, don’t worry, we aren’t sold out. We still have almost 700 pairs of the current models of your favorite running shoes in stock at 30% off! And we’ve added over 60 pair of shoes to our previous model tables priced from 50% off all the way down to $25.

We still have plenty of apparel and accessories at 50% off to 75% off and Feetures’s socks are 30% off.
