Rock + Run Becomes a Dedicated Web-Retailer

Rock + Run are becoming a fully fledged web retailer from the 1st of March 2007. This means we will be concentrating all our efforts into developing our growing online business at our new South Lakes warehouse and closing our Ambleside retail premises.

We will have an exciting new web site launching in March with lots of new features including ‘Live Help’, gear reviews, live stock availability, customer accounts and purchase history available online, improved usability and design.

On the product front, we will be further developing our excellent value own brand products, compressing the supply chain by buying more products direct from manufacturers and ultimately offering better prices to customers, working with key suppliers to improve the merchandising and availability of their product ranges through our new web site.

Although we won’t have a retail showroom at Sandside we will be offering counter sales and customers are very welcome to call by if they need product advice or need to return any items.

As many of you will know, Rock + Run started live in Ambleside in May 1983. Although we are looking forward to the challenges of the new Rock + Run it is not without a hint of sadness that we saying goodbye to the old place. I would like to take this opportunity to say a heart felt thank you to everyone that has worked at 3-4 Cheapside in the past, and of course, many thanks to all the customers that have supported us in Ambleside over the years. We hope to see you cyberspace or, if you get chance, at our Warehouse.
