Figuring out fantastic new ways to show products. Working along with key supplier brands to create the best-in-class retail solutions for their brand and the independent store at the same time. Keen attention to every detail. Trouts is a case study in how to make a small, independent store great!
If you haven’t been to Austin to see Hill Abell’s Bicycle Sport Shop stores, you really need to add that to your list! Austin is such a great city, and a store that is going to fit in there has to do some very special stuff right and they do. These images are from the Bee Cave store that we worked on. Stay tuned for some more very exciting developments in Austin soon.
The big story at Summit City was the overhaul the whole team pulled off to the flow of the store. The space had been
added onto over the years, and they were having real issues with the way the space inhibited the business they were doing. So we worked closely with them, took off the blinders, and made some profound adjustments to the space. Now the whole in-store experience is dramatically better, and that reflects directly back on the Summit City brand…Yay!
Blazing Saddles is well known in the San Francisco area for the robust bike rental business they do. When they decided to expand to the Sonoma area, they had the opportunity to add a traditional retail bike shop to the rental business they planned. So they called us in to help. The whole team could not be happier with the outcome. It truly takes the Blazing Saddles brand to a new level, and that is really exciting.

We have a long history with Ed Kuh from Full Cycle, so when he said that they wanted to make the store a real gathering place by remodeling and adding a full bar, we didn’t even have to think about it. We got to work alongside our old friends from Giant, and the results are awesome. You MUST stop in the store if you are near Boulder.
This running store in NC will always be one of our favorite experiences. We had such a great time working with the incredible people there. The teamwork paid off too. The store holds its own with any retail in the area.
A few years back, working very closely with the team at Giant, we designed this awesome space and provided fixtures for this great store.
Even though this store has changed owners since we designed it, we still had to share. It was a great example of taking a really small store and making it feel every bit as interesting and fun as a big store. Their unique personality really shined through.
Mike’s Bike Shop is the perfect example of a store that came to us more for our design help than for fixtures. They had a large space and needed to capitalize on the amount of product they could fit. We worked closely with their architect to design the space from the ground up.
BGI was over 18,000 square feet of retail space. We teamed up with them to help with the store design from the ground up, including the overall look and all the fixtures for merchandising.
Val and Stan are a huge nightmare to work with….and we love them to death. Their store in Tampa is truly one of the best stores around. We worked very closely with Giant to make this happen, and the results are powerfully good.
