A Snail's Pace Running Shop has been serving the Southern California walking and running community since 1979. Having been named a Top 50 Running Store in America 11 out of the last 12 years and the Best Store in the West in 2010 and 2015, our unparalleled customer service and our famous 3-2-Run! Fit Process truly make us the premiere destination for running and walking gear. Our commitment to helping each customer find the right equipment for their needs keeps them coming back year after year. We are your local "Mom and Pop" shop, where ownership is actively involved in day-to-day operations. We are passionate runners, who hire passionate runners, to share their love of the sport with each person that walks through our doors.

The Floor Manager is responsible for providing each customer the best experience in the industry, utilizing the sales techniques and product information you receive from our ASP University training. Floor managers conduct our 3-2-Run Fit Process, which includes interviewing each customer, conducting a static and dynamic analysis using our video cameras and treadmills, and educating customers on the benefits of products we offer that benefit their specific goals. Floor Managers help keep the front of the shop well merchandised and clean, while assisting with receiving and restocking products from the warehouse and other shops.

Additionally, Floor Managers help keep staff productive and hold them accountable, coaching throughout the day and ensuring daily tasks are completed. The Floor Manager helps quarterback the sales floor, acting as the General Manager when they are not in the shop. Floor Managers arrive before opening to ensure the shop is ready to open, and stay late to ensure all tasks are completed at closing.
