We're opening up the doors to our new flagship store, the Runner's Room at 328 Bleecker Street this Saturday at 9AM. RSVP for our grand opening run and check out 10 things to expect inside below...
1. Enjoy a complementary "Runner's Room" Gilcée Print by Bandit Lead Designer Alexandra Iaccarino.
Everyone who walks through our doors opening weekend will receive a complimentary gilcée print by Bandit Lead Designer, Ale Iaccarino. While supplies last.
2. Discover all new flagship exclusive product
From the vault, we're bringing back design elements of our trademark NYC Marathon '23 capsule. Discover limited edition NY, NY run hats, shoe charms, and our 100% Peruvian combed cotton tees.
3. Shop a second delivery of the Summer 2024 Collection
We'll have additional quantities of nearly every item from our Summer '24 Collection available in store. Members will have first access on Friday from 9am to 7pm before the public grand opening on Saturday morning.
4. Order "The Bandit" at Rhythm Zero café
Inside the Bandit Store is a Rhythm Zero café serving a wide variety of fine coffee drinks. Order "The Bandit", an off-menu item intended to keep you alive post long run. Members can show their account home for a 10% discount.
5. Listen to tunes on legendary JBL 4315 Studio Monitors
They don't make 'em like this no more. Some of the most sought after speakers in the world and last produced in 1981, the JBL 4315 will be permeating vibes throughout the space from open to close daily.
5. Relax on carefully sourced and curated vintage furniture
A Frank Gehry Wiggle Side Chair, a travertine communal table, etc. etc. etc.
6. Make use of the Member bag drop storage & bathroom
Need a place to drop a bag or ditch your before/during a run? Or perhaps you have some urgent business to attend to in the bathroom. Our Runner's Room is your Runner's Room. Just ask a Bandit staff member to assist you and help yourself.
7. Gather round for race watch parties on the projector screen
Normalize getting together with friends to watch marathons over coffees and a pastry. We'll have a projector in the communal space fired up during all major races. Olympics anyone?
8. Come out for a weekly run from the store
We don't have a new club for the store (yet)... That seemed a little forward to us. But as we settle into the neighborhood and get to know everyone, we'll certainly begin hosting weekly runs. Stay tuned for more information on our Instagram.
9. Look forward to The Program in partnership with ASICS
The Program, our virtual & in-person 16 week marathon training experience in partnership with ASICS is coming back for the NYC Marathon this Summer. The Runner's Room will convert into a hangout for athletes every Wednesday and Saturday leading up to the race. Expect an abundance of fuel and recovery products, vintage ASICS memorabilia on display, a curated selection of ASICS premier racing & training footwear, and more.
10. Enjoy a laptop free, dog-friendly environment
Dogs in, laptops out. We want the space to be a place to disconnect from the internet and re-connect to life. Feel free to bring your good boy or sweet girl 'round, and leave your boss on read.
