Description:
“Tracks and Trails” will be a full service bicycle repair and Outdoor retail shop located in Napa, California. The initial product line will consist of “KHS“ and “Free Agent“ bicycles and products. The shop will cater to many different segments including: kid’s, bmx, cross-country, downhill, commuter, road, water and outdoor enthusiasts. In addition to bike and kayak sales, the store will have a full line of outdoor accessories, apparel and parts. The shop will also have trained mechanics to provide repairs and installations for customers. The chosen location was the home to successful bicycle shop for many years however the other shop has changed it's location to a less visible section of town. I personally know many of the customers and I have long been involved in the outdoor business community in the Napa Valley.
Honestly I need funding and I need it fast. I have all the retailers lined up and can order products today. I do have a business plan and I would like to get started as soon as possible so that I retain the customer base that has been going to that location for years.
I used to manage the shop at the same location. The former owner of the shop is willing to work with me to get it started. I have a network of contacts in the industry as well.
I have the financial information from a bicycle shop in this same location.
For the last two years I have been in business with a partner at Napa Valley Adventure Tours. However I am searching for something in which I can become independent financially and support myself year round.
My goal is to provide superior service and more affordable prices than any of the other shops in town. Also I plan to be the only shop in town who has "uniforms" which will give the staff a professional look.
I realize that you don't know me from "Adam" and it is difficult to make this kind of decision. However know this, I do have the skills, talent, intelligence, passion and drive to make this venture successful. All I need is an angel. I will return your investment with interest asap...
