WICHITA — Kevin Swinicki and Randy Mijares are expanding their west-side GoRun Wichita at 2556 N. Maize Road less than two years after opening it.
“The store’s busier, and we just need a little more room for shoe fitting and apparel,” Swinicki says. “We’ll be basically almost doubling it.”
The store currently is in 1,400 square feet and is expanding into the former Game X Change space for a total of about 2,500 square feet.
The expansion isn’t necessarily to carry more lines, although GoRun has recently added Asics to its brands.
“We’re always constantly looking at new things to bring in,” Swinicki says.
A 2,800-square-foot east-side GoRun opened last year at the Village at Greenwich at 21st and Greenwich. Swinicki says both stores are doing well.
“We just kind of see the health-and-fitness boom kind of coming about again,” Swinicki says. “The running community continues to grow.”
GoRun offers a couple of major training opportunities a year that culminate in a race.
“We do help with a lot of races,” Swinicki says.
He says he and Mijares consider themselves race partners instead of sponsors.
The GoRun expansion should be complete by July or early August.
