For a store all about movin’ on down the road, Runner’s Roost, a specialty shop for those who run, stayed put at 425 Post Road for a lot of years — 38 — before moving to Goodwives Shopping Center. The store’s new space, near the “elbow” of the shopping center at 25 Old Kings Hwy. N. (between Imperial Cleaners and Koko FitClub) is open and ready for business. That includes business at Darien Sidewalk Sale & Family Fun Days, which starts this Thursday. The Pink Lemon/Blue Lime store previously occupied the same spot before moving out of town.
