Seattle-based action sports and outdoor retailer evo announced the purchase of Denver, Colo. businesses Edgeworks and The Bicycle Doctor. Matt Hupperts and his team at Edgeworks have been serving Colorado market for about 25 years. The Edgeworks and Bicycle Doctor operate as a companion shop serving skiers, snowboarders and bikers year round.
The current Edgeworks and Bicycle Doctor location will continue to provide ski, snowboard, and bicycle rentals, service, and repair from the shop at 860 Broadway in Denver, Colo. The evo and Edgeworks/Bicycle Doctor teams will partner later this summer to renovate the space and open a new evo retail and service storefront in fall 2016 that brings evo to the Colorado market and showcases the service-first focus and 25-plus-years of experience of Hupperts and his team, said the companies.
“Growing our reach and creating community-focused experiences is central to where we are taking evo, and we are grateful to have this opportunity to partner with Matt,” says Bryce Phillips, evo Founder and CEO. “He has a great team with an exceptional reputation, and we have a shared commitment to doing something special in the Denver market together.”
“We are very excited to work with evo,” says Hupperts. “From ecommerce to store locations, evo brings so much to the retail platform. Working together we can build on our vision of service, rental, and demo to complete that experience at an even greater level.”
The partnership with Edgeworks/The Bicycle Doctor follows the introduction earlier this year of evo’s La Familia program, which provides streamlined service and free local delivery in partnership with independent specialty retailers around the country.
