A New Chapter for Our Fish Creek Store
Many of you have visited our store on Canyon Meadows Drive and have noticed that we are not there! Strides Fish Creek is currently operating out of a temporary location in Avenida Village as we prepare our new permanent home in the same complex. This transition happened quicker than we originally planned, so thank you for your patience and support!
Strides Fish Creek continues to serve our community with our wonderful temporary location. If you’ve stopped by this space, you may have noticed it has a bit of personality to it. Housed in a former chiropractor’s office, it’s been a creative “make-it-work” adventure with plenty of rooms and unforgettable blue walls. It’s not traditional retail—but it’s fun, somewhat functional, and full of heart.
