Charlotte Running Co. Eyes New Home at Park Road Shopping Center
Charlotte Running Co. plans to relocate its Dilworth store to Park Road Shopping Center at 4243 Park Road in Charlotte, according to reporting by Axios Charlotte. The retailer is targeting a fall 2026 opening in a storefront formerly occupied by Bruegger’s Bagels and Caribou Coffee. Axios reports that the new location will span approximately 4,600 square feet, compared with about 2,400 square feet at the company’s current Dilworth store. Founder Scott Dvorak told Axios that the new store is being designed to offer more than a traditional retail experience. Plans call for amenities geared toward local runners, including spaces where customers can gather before and after workouts and community events. The move will place Charlotte Running Co. within one of the city’s most established shopping destinations. Park Road Shopping Center opened in 1956 as Charlotte’s first open-air shopping center and today features a mix of local businesses and national brands, according to the center’s website.
