A premium bicycle retailer inside an extraordinary historic theatre — original architecture, painted vaulted ceiling and deep curtains create drama, while customers and staff bring the store to life.

RETAIL IS THEATRE.

The best retail experiences make people feel something long before they decide to buy.

I know the feeling when a store comes alive.

It happens when the people, product, space and energy work together — and you notice when the spark is missing. Retail must perform commercially, but emotion is what makes it memorable. After more than three decades building, owning and leading retail businesses, I still get a real buzz from creating experiences that draw people in and give them a reason to return.
