Spokes Bikes, an award-winning Renfrewshire-based business known for its dedication to quality and personal service, is opening its second store directly across from Battery Park in Greenock.
The new shop is opening at 315 Eldon Street following the end of the lease for the previous tenant, Kip McGrath who has since relocated to larger premises on Union Street in Greenock.
Through a passion for cycling and the outdoors, Spokes Bikes was born during the pandemic lockdown and began operating in the summer of 2020, initially as a mobile cycle repair.
The first retail shop opened in the village of Bridge of Weir in November 2021, expanding into adjacent premises in March 2022.
The owners of Spokes Bikes, Ian and Julie Stokes said: “After winning the award for the Most Promising New Business at the Renfrewshire ROCCO awards in November 2023, we began to look at growth opportunities for the business and as we already had several loyal customers in Inverclyde using our services, we thought there may be demand for an independent bike shop to be based here.
“We found the perfect location across from Battery Park (ideal for a shop with e-bikes!).
“Over the last few months we have invested in various areas of the business including our click and collect service and e-commerce as well as strengthening our team of expert mechanics who have experience working on all makes and models of bikes.
“We also now stock Cube and Merida bikes adding to our existing Ridgeback, Frog and Cinelli offerings.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming the public from 6 April onwards, bringing our ethos of great customer service and a good quality range of bikes for all ages and abilities alongside service and repair, cycle advice, demo rides and with bike rentals coming soon.”
The new tenancy is the latest for The Home of Property - Bowman Rebecchi who acted as the letting agent for the owners.
