Evans Cycles opens new Bristol superstore
Evans Cycles has opened a new 3,300 sq ft shop in Bristol as part of its UK expansion programme.
The Frasers Group-owned company, the current largest high street cycling retailer in the UK with 70 stores and 900 employees, announced this week the opening of a new Bristol store on Union Street, in the city’s Shopping Quarter.
The company posted losses of £22.8m for 2023.
The new 3,300 sq ft shop includes a 150-bike showroom and service and repairs centre.
Evans also confirmed that it will open another shop in Sheffield’s Meadowhall Centre in September.
Announcing the opening of the stores in Bristol and Sheffield, Frasers Groups’ managing director of wheels, Russel Merry, said: “We remain big believers in bricks and mortar retail for cycling. Bikes are a considered purchase and customers value the guidance of a knowledgeable team member as well as being able to see and touch the bike in front of them, before making a choice.
“The new Evans Cycles site in Bristol demonstrates our commitment to investing in and improving the locations we currently occupy and opening new stores.”
