Big Peach Running Co – Brookhaven

I’ve been to the Big Peach Running Co in Decatur and had a wonderful experience. I came to the Brookhaven location because bestie needed some running/​walking shoes and I told her about my awesome experience. Therefore, I decided to accompany her and check out the store. It is located in Town Blvd in the plaza where Publix and LA Fitness is located. There is free parking deck if you’re not able to find parking near the store.
The store is huge compared to Decatur. Same great customer service. However, Brookhaven wins a few notch over for their massive variety of shoe display and walking trail around the casher and treadmill. Even though I was mainly there to accompany bestie, I observed everything and asked questions too for me in the future. I loved it so much, I want to come back. To this location!
I asked bestie what she thought. She said the experience was extraordinary and was glad I told her and pushed her to come since she is not a runner and always had a hard time finding a walking/​running shoe. It was hard to please her, finding the right shoe. The sales rep did not give up and made sure bestie was satisfied.
The sale rep told us about free walking/​running events. I saw many of the runners come to the store to stop and get complimentary water. They even have free class teaching good form to lead to run. She also gave information about a free 5k.
Looking forward to coming back again!

It was finally time to retire my old running shoes and after several great recommendations, I found myself at Big Peach. I’ve heard numerous great things about Big Peach, especially since our Cross Country coach was a huge fan! Several close friends found their «perfect» running shoes and recommended I finally give in and give it a shot.
Well, since I’ve finished my first year of work, and have a little bit of time before my summer gig starts up, I decided why not.
Big Peach has a «Fit Process» where they discuss with you the purpose of why you are in the search for new running shoes, as well as taking a look at your stance to see and know more about your feet. Afterwards, you step into a comprehensive foot digital analysis program where it lets you see your arch, width, length, etc. I was able to see if I had a high, low, or medium arch and got where I put the most pressure and where my center of gravity falls.
Afterwards, they got me some neutral running shoes and I started running on the treadmill. They took a video of my running to allow me to see if I have over pronation in my feet. After examining the video together, I was able to have shoes brought out to me that was best for my stability and comfort.
I was brought out 3 different shoes, of varying brands, and was allowed to run around in them and try on different shoes on each foot to see which one I liked best. I was never rushed, and often told to take my time to make a thorough decision on which one I ultimately wanted to buy.
It was a great experience and I’ll definitely recommend them to anyone needing new running shoes!

Big Peach has been my go to running store since I started running in 2010. They have several locations and although this one moved from further down Peachtree into Town Brookhaven, I feel like this is home base for me.
I have been here numerous times for all sorts of different activities. But no matter what is going on or who is helping you, everyone is extremely friendly.
If you want to start running Big Peach is the place to go. They will get you fitted for some shoes and I was very surprised to learn things about my running style and sneaker needs that I did not know before. They will set you up and then let you try different shoes that fit your needs. You can even run outside for a bit to try them out. They want you to make an informed purchase. At Big Peach you can buy sneakers, clothes, nutrition goodies, recovery items, you name it if you need it they will have it. You can also sign up for races, one of their run groups or go online and sign up for some clinics. The clinics are free and often very helpful. They have a Good Form running clinic that is very beneficial.
Customer service is top notch. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. The manager at this location is Dave and if you have any problems he steps up to help out. Check out Big Peach, they have several locations around Atlanta and a great online presence.
