Fleet Feet, the largest U.S. franchisor of owned and locally operated running specialty stores in the U.S., has opened a fifth Fleet Feet San Antonio location in Stone Ridge Market. The store is operated by Kim Heather, the operating partner of Fleet Feet San Antonio since 2024. 

Heather joined Fleet Feet as an outfitter in Chicago and advanced through various roles, including store manager, area manager and HR director. In 2024, she relocated to San Antonio, Texas, where she oversees Fleet Feet operations at the Quarry, Rim, Forum and Culebra locations. 

Over the last two years under Heather, “Fleet Feet San Antonio has developed a partnership with the San Antonio Marathon and introduced a reimagined Fleet Feet event for The Big Run 5K,” stated Fleet Feet in a media release. “Bringing her prior experience, she has expanded and grown Fleet Feet’s training programs, offering everything from beginner 5K training to extensive SATX marathon preparation.” 

The Fleet Feet store at Stone Ridge Market opens on June 15.  

“San Antonio has become one of the most active and engaged running markets in the country, and our growth here reflects that momentum,” said Jason Jabaut, chief operating officer, Fleet Feet. “Each new store becomes a local hub where runners connect, train together and engage with each other. Kim has done an incredible job building that kind of trust across the existing stores, and this new location extends that same support to even more people.”
