Shoe Trade

Tortoise and Hare, Sole Sisters move.

by Sally Mitani

posted 3/14/2010

For twenty-five years Ann Arbor had two running stores within a block of each other downtown. Running Fit, which traces its origins to 1984, now has a half dozen other locations, including a megastore that opened last year on Jackson Road. Tortoise and Hare, born on Liberty in 1978, opened a second, larger store in Traver Village twelve years ago and a small shop in the Health and Fitness Center at WCC two years ago. At the end of January it closed its original store.
