The Runnings story begins on December 5th, 1947, when founder Norman “Red” Running opened the first store in downtown Marshall, Minnesota. Runnings started as an automotive supply store and was deeply rooted in selling farm and fleet supplies until the late 80’s when additional product lines were added. And, as they say, the rest is history. In 1988, a group involving Dennis and Adele Reed purchased the company. Under Reed’s leadership, Runnings has evolved to become a retail destination for high-quality merchandise including clothing, footwear, automotive, sporting goods, farm supplies, lawn and garden, toys, housewares, tools, pet and animal supplies and more. Over the years, Runnings has grown from 8 stores in 2 states to 80 stores in 12 states including Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, Montana, New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio.
