Mudroom Welcomes Specialty Retailers from Missouri and Arkansas

by David Deioma July 06, 2019

Mudroom Backpacks welcomes Fleet Feet - Columbia, MO and True Grit Running Co. from Ft. Smith, AR.  

Mudroom Backpacks recently connected with Nancy Yaeger, the owner and founder of Fleet Feet - Columbia, MO (http://www.fleetfeetcolumbiamo.com/).  July 2019 is the 2nd anniversary for this Fleet Feet location and we are honored to be trusted by Nancy and a part of the Fleet Feet product offering.  In her "spare" time, Nancy is the head coach for the Stephens College Cross Country team and founder of Tiger Endurance Company, a youth triathlon team in Columbia, MO.   Nancy is also one of the founders of the Heart of Missouri chapter of Girls on the Run.

True Grit Running Co. (http://truegritrunningco.com/) is owned and operated by Melissa Vitale.  Melissa and her team earned the award for being one of the best running stores in America in 2019 by Running Insight Magazine(https://issuu.com/runninginsight/docs/running_insight_6.3.19?e=33736402/70280520).  True Grit Running Co. opened in 2016 in Ft. Smith, AR to inspire people in the Arkansas River Valley to live active, healthy lifestyles.  

Mudroom applauds both of these women-owned businesses.  Thank you for inspiring people to pursue healthy lifestyles.  Welcome to the Mudroom!

Mudroom makes backpacks for easy and efficient travel to destination running events.  With exterior and interior access to siloed footwear compartments, Mudroom packs can carry race day shoes and apparel separately from laptops and personal items, and even fits under an airplane seat.  So while people are traveling the country pursuing healthy lifestyles, Mudroom is the tool to help them get there.
