IRON MOUNTAIN — The Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce recently welcomed Queen City Running Company with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the store, 426 S. Stephenson Ave. in Iron Mountain.

Queen City Running Company traces its roots back to the iconic Johnson’s Sports Center in Marquette, where it began as a family-owned business built on relationships and community. Now led by third-generation owner Kevin Thomsen and co-owner Paige Du Bois, Queen City Running Company continues that legacy with a customer-first approach that treats every guest like family, the chamber states in a news release. Their philosophy is simple — make sure everyone leaves with happy feet and a smile.

The company has since grown to three Upper Peninsula locations: Marquette, Houghton and the newest in Iron Mountain. The Iron Mountain store is at 426 S. Stephenson Ave., Suite 2. They specialize in professional shoe fittings, running supplies and premium apparel lines from Lululemon, Nike and Vuori.
