DESCRIPTION
Executive Directory of Sporting Goods & Bicycle Retailers allows you to target individuals that own and operate sporting goods and bicycle shops. These establishments are primarily engaged in the retail sale of sporting goods, sporting equipment, and bicycles, bicycle parts and accessories.
Bicycles are sold in department stores, specialty bike shops, and discount, variety, and hardware stores. The typical American bicycle shop served a customer base of approximately 9,000 persons. Approximately 40 percent of the bicycle shops in the nation were single proprietorships and were primarily "home-owned" facilities. Bicycle shops stocked four major classifications of bicycles: single-speed cruiser bicycles, contemporary utility bicycles, lightweight 10-to 18-speed bicycles, and specialty bicycles, such as mountain bikes, sports models, touring bicycles, folding bicycles, and all-terrain bicycles.
The sporting goods industry was dominated by hunting and fishing equipment, and hardware stores competed with sporting goods outlets for business. The nation as a whole grew increasingly health-and fitness conscious, sparking a boom in sales of exercise gear as well as apparel. An expanding variety and specialization in equipment for all sports necessitated space for the vast selections now pushed by manufacturers. As the fitness industry sparked consumer appeal for exercise equipment, accessories, and athletic wear, trends gradually shifted from sporting goods stores, which were typically sole proprietorships and small "pro shops," to franchises and eventually sporting goods chains. Technological advances also gave rise to all-terrain bicycles, mountain bikes, high-tech athletic shoes, all-in-one weight machines, aerobic stair steppers, and computerized treadmills, stair climbers, and stationary bicycles. Similarly, sporting goods retailers were using sophisticated multimedia techniques to enhance store environments and make sports involvement more appealing to men, women, and children.
Owners and operators of sporting goods and bicycle shops have experience managing a business with management skills, marketing, financial and accounting backgrounds. They hire and manage a staff of employees that have knowledge of various sports and equipment related to aerobic, baseball, basketball, bicycling, boating, bow and arrow, bowling, boxing, climbing, cross country, exercise and fitness, field hockey, fishing, golf, gymnastics, hunting, ice hockey, ice skating, lacrosse, running and jogging, skiing, snowboarding, soccer, surfing, swimming, track and field, weightlifting, and yoga. Some retail sports and bicycle shops have a repair station and sell used products.
