Rivertown Running under new management
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Changes are underway – Rivertown Running is under new management. Since opening their doors last October, Heath Sanders and his wife, Kati, have been the owners. However, operations in another location needed their attention, so Sanders sold his store to Zack Kendrick and his wife, Gigi Kendrick. Zack is originally from Cairo but is familiar with the downtown southern charm. He’s also a new owner in the business world, and he stated he “saw a great opportunity in the running store here in Bainbridge since it’s a close-knit community, very supportive of the downtown markets and boutiques. It’s just a perfect fit for me and my family.” Zack stated that nothing would change, and the store would have additional brands of shoes. Besides being a business owner, Zack is also a real estate agent. So, he’s a man of all trades. If you need running shoes or want to greet the new owner, go to Rivertown Running at 214 E. Water Street.
