Tenant Spotlight: Charm City Run

Charm City Run has been a staple at the Annapolis Town Center for the last 12 years. With a focus on fitness, they have been able to connect with the local community and create a subset of a diverse range. To commemorate their long tenure, we sat down with Bill Frazier, the Annapolis Store Lead, to provide a more personal look into the store. 

 

Q: For those who don’t know, can you tell me a little bit about Charm City Run?

A: Charm City Run is a walking/running specialty store that has been recognized as one of the top run/walk specialty stores in the USA. It was even named the top store in 2016! We also pride ourselves on the work we do in the community. Anything from putting on a race or operating a running camp for local high schools – we love to give back!

Q: What is your favorite part of the Charm City Run community? 

A: My favorite part of our tight-knit community is all of the stories we hear of people’s individual journeys. I love hearing about the person who first began walking and now runs a marathon. Or, the person who took up running as a way to get healthy and now it is part of their lifestyle. Hearing these stories is what motivates you, and others, to get active and continue on your own journey.

Q: We know Charm City run does a lot of events, what was one of the most memorable, or your favorite run or event? 

A: This past year’s 24-hour run was easily the most memorable for me. We raised money for a wonderful charity, it was the first in-person run since the pandemic started, and we were able to see all of our friend’s smiling faces again – what a great day!

Q: Do you ever get to collaborate with other tenants? 

A: We have been fortunate to collaborate with others and we look forward to doing more of it.  Recently we collaborated with Salty Dogs on a recurring monthly event and we are in talks with Neo Pizza on another venture as well. 

Q: Now that it’s officially summer and things are opening up, what can guests look forward to this summer? 

A: There is a lot in the works. We recently launched our Paws and Claws event – for dogs and humans. With such a great turnout, we have decided to make this a monthly event.  Cross Country day in August for all the high school kids . What I am most looking forward to is our activations for the Olympics! Think viewing parties and maybe an Olympic Village (wink wink). 

Q: What is the best way for people to find out more about your events? 

A: Our events will be on our website (charmcityrun.com), FB, and IG  (@charmcityrunannapolis).

Elevate Your Self-Care

Self-care is by far the best kind of love you can give yourself. Whether through a day of pampering, a full-on lifestyle change or just a midday break. Recognizing your physical, mental, and emotional needs is necessary to live a better and healthier life. Restore your well-being with the Annapolis Town Center. Our plethora of tenants offer a number of services that fit everyone’s needs and budget.

Spend A Day

Set up a day by yourself or with a friend to relax and receive a much-needed treatment by a professional. About Faces Day Spa & Salon offers body massages, hair care services, and spa body treatments in their professional, zen-like environment. The scent of lavender and mint exuding from its treatment rooms are the perfect place to reduce stress, relax muscles, and increase endorphins. Or, switch up your style with Salon Unlimited. Try out that haircut or color you’ve been dying to have. Nothing is better than leaving with fresh-cut locks, ready to take on the world!

Take It Home

The easiest way to prioritize self-care is through routine and daily habits. If time is your concern then the best way to combat that is to pamper yourself at home. Grab a pre-made face mask, a calming scented bath bomb, a few lavender-scented candles, and get lost in a good book or guilty pleasure magazine from Whole Foods to unwind from a long day. Soaking in the tub can improve heart health, benefit your muscles and joints, and help you sleep better. Or, pop into About Faces Day Spa & Salon to pick up some daily essentials like face cream, night creams, and face serums to create your own care routine that will keep your skin looking its best.

Make It Simple

Take time out of your busy schedule and book an appointment to just relax, unwind, and spend a little “me” time. Paint Nailbar is the perfect place to get an affordable, but luxurious manicure or pedicure. Their non-toxic nail salon will surely improve the way you look and feel as their nail technicians pay attention to even the smallest details. Have a kink in your neck or are you looking for some relief from tight joints? The Joint Chiropractic is the perfect solution. Not only can they help with your realignment, but chiropractic care has a number of additional benefits. Like boosting your immunity, improving your digestion, and increasing your energy. Meditation is another key self-care act. Join Ruah Yoga for their meditation workshops, hot and cool yoga, or specialty yoga classes.

Let Annapolis Town Center help you with your self-care. You can thank us later! Make sure to stay up to date on all things ATC by following us on Instagram and Facebook!
