Charm City Run expanding in Rehoboth Beach
Charm City Run is expanding its store in downtown Rehoboth Beach.
The Baltimore-based running and walking specialty company opened its first Delaware store on Rehoboth Avenue in 2022. It’s located in the building that was the longtime home to Creative Impressions. When that business closed, the building was separated into multiple retail spaces. Charm City opened in the middle spot. The expansion is taking place in the space immediately to the east, which was most recently Coastal Hobo, a business specializing in Turkish textiles.
To meet the growing demands of the store and customer needs, more space was a logical move, said Erin Cecil, store manager. When Coastal Hobo moved out, the company decided it made sense to take advantage of the space, she said.
The expansion will allow for a wider range of apparel and brands, as well as space for a treadmill to allow for gait analysis, said Cecil. The expectation is to have full access to the space by the end of March or April, she said.
Charm City Run, 200 Rehoboth Ave., is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday through Wednesday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday through Saturday. For more information on Charm City Run Rehoboth Beach, go to charmcityrun.com, call 302-278-7034 or email Cecil at ececil@charmcityrun.com.
