OUR STORY

Foot Traffic was founded in 2000 at the site of an old video store in NE Portland in the beautiful Alameda district. The neighborhood setting set the stage for our community- based business model that focuses on immersing our employees and our operations directly within the community around us. Since that time, Foot Traffic has opened 4 more locations serving the communities in Downtown Portland, Sellwood, Cedar Mill, and Vancouver.

Foot Traffic’s community-based business model emphasizes: 1.) Access to the sport. 2.) Creating a one-stop hub for all things running and walking and fitness. 3.) Commitment is to the betterment of our fellow runners and walkers and the community they live in through movement!

Foot Traffic is owned by Sean Rivers. Sean grew up and competed in track and cross country in Sandy, OR. He received a scholarship to run at the University of Alaska Anchorage where he graduated with a journalism degree. He is married to Emily Rivers and they currently are raising their three daughters on a Portland-area farm with alpacas, chickens, and a menagerie of miscellaneous animals in their “free” time.
