Cody Angell

Cody and his wife, Janna, have owned and operated St. Pete Running Company since opening the store in 2014. In early 2026, they expanded the concept with St. Pete Running & Coffee, combining a running specialty store with a coffee shop. Cody has spent 21 years in running retail, working in the Carolinas, Western Australia, and Florida. Over that time, he has seen the running retail landscape change considerably – from the products and brands being sold to the role a running store can play within its community. As avid coffee fans, they wanted the new store to be more than simply a place to buy running shoes. The coffee shop was intentionally designed as a “third space” – a comfortable place for customers to meet, spend time, connect with other runners, or simply have a coffee before or after a run. His experience across different markets and two countries has given him a broad perspective on specialty running retail and on how stores can continue to evolve while remaining connected
