New Nike Store Downtown Oakville
In an attempt to compete with the Running Room, Nike has opened a new store downtown Oakville. It is located right on Lakeshore Rd; two stores west of Starbucks. The building it’s in has been beautifully renovated. The front is covered in brick with a large orange Nike swoosh above the storefront window. The store itself is not so big, but is fully stocked with all kinds of apparel. It looks like its target market is runners as the window display shows different kinds of jogging clothes and accessories.
Speaking of runners, haven’t you noticed an influx of runners in the community? Almost daily you can see a gaggle of joggers lumbering through downtown Oakville. Each one masterfully decked out in the latest running clothes. There must be some running clubs. My guess is the Running Room organizes and hosts these group runs. I think it’s great that people come together, meet one another, go for a run and stay in shape. Maybe the new Nike store will set up group runs, where people come and meet at the store before runs. I imagine it would produce a lot of continuous weekly foot traffic from loyal customers. Anyway, please enjoy the new Nike store.
