velofix Rolls Towards Becoming the Largest Group of Bike Shops in North America with 104 Franchises Sold

velofix Atlanta Owner, Brian Williams jumped at the opportunity to purchase multiple territories in the Atlanta region saying, "When I thought about the business, I saw the opportunity because I myself am the perfect customer. Both my wife and I work demanding jobs and have two active kids. Therefore, time is limited. I needed a fast and convenient way to get my bike fixed and I knew others probably experienced the same."

Alongside Williams, long-time cyclist and entrepreneur Brian Brackemyre purchased three territories after examining the local Indianapolis market for over a year.

Quoted on Bicycling.com in December 2015 Brackemyre said, "They've [velofix] developed a complete mobile shop that can do almost anything a traditional bike shop can do."

velofix has since launched velofix DIRECT, a direct to consumer delivery program providing manufacturers the last mile white glove service that was missing when a consumer buys online.

"I'm extremely excited to bring velofix to Indiana," says Brackemyre. "The product and service offerings are tremendous and I look forward to interacting with local Hoosier cyclists and businesses."

Brackemyre and Williams will launch in the summer of 2017.

velofix CEO and co-founder Chris Guillemet states, "Our goal is to be the largest group of Bike Shops in the world, and to surpass 100 franchises is validation of our business model. We provide premium service by certified Mechanics and we sell the best parts and accessories in the industry. With velofix DIRECT we deliver, build, fit, safety check, and follow up within 30 days to ensure the customer is satisfied. The retail landscape is changing and evolve or die has never been truer."
