Century Cycles Marks
20th Anniversary, Expands to New Store Location in Medina
MEDINA,
Ohio – Century Cycles (www.CenturyCycles.com)
is marking its 20th anniversary with record sales, numerous awards
and now a flagship store. Founded in Medina in 1992, Century Cycles is
expanding and transforming its original store location into a flagship store
for the three-store chain. The larger, more state-of-the-art Century Cycles is
at 1059 North Court – on the Marc’s side of the plaza behind McDonalds on Route
42, a few doors down from their previous location at 1079 North Court.
The
new Century Cycles store in Medina will open to the public on Thursday,
September 27, at 10 a.m. It is 8,500 square feet, more than double the size of
its previous location and bigger than the other Century Cycles stores in Rocky
River and Peninsula. Besides expanding bicycle display areas and the service
department, the new Century Cycles Medina will also handle the company’s
buying, receiving and distribution of bicycle accessories, parts and clothing
throughout the chain.
“We
are thrilled to be expanding our long tradition in Medina,” said Century Cycles
owner Scott Cowan, who is also a resident of Medina County. “We are grateful
for Medina’s support for the past 20 years, and we are excited to have a
bigger, better, state-of-the-art bicycle store to continue serving Medina and
Northeast Ohio’s bicycle needs for the next 20 years.”
In
May, Century Cycles helped the Medina schools launch their first Bike To School
Challenge, which encourages, educates and incentivizes middle school students
to ride bicycles for their health and well-being. The program, which is also
conducted in Bay Village and Rocky River schools, was cited among the reasons
that Medina was honored recently as one of the 100 Best Communities for Young
People.
Last
week at Interbike (www.Interbike.com),
Century Cycles won a “Build More Than Bicycles” Award from Bikes Belong (www.BikesBelong.org) for Bike To School
Challenge – an honor bestowed upon only three bicycle advocacy programs
nationwide. Century Cycles was also awarded a Top 100 Gold Star Retailer Award
from Bicycle Retailer and Industry News’ (www.BicycleRetailer.com), an award
recognizing the top 2% of independent bicycle shops in the U.S., with gold
status conferred to winners in multiple years. This year Century Cycles has also
won Best Bike Shop in voting by the readers of Cleveland Magazine, West Shore
Live Well and The Medina Gazette.
