Evans Cycles is opening a new store at Southside Shopping Centre in Wandsworth, London.
The new 3,500 sq ft site, which opens on 30 July, features two floors showcasing over 160 bikes alongside a curated selection of “the world’s best cycling brands”.
A fully-stocked service centre powered by Cytechtrained mechanics is at the heart of the new location, according to the bike retailer.
The “expert team” is equipped to handle “everything from quick fixes and major servicing to Brompton-accredited repairs”.
Evans Cycles said its new store signalled its “renewed commitment to serving riders seeking performance-tier models alongside its trusted options for every type of cycling discipline”.
The shop sells a range of the newly relaunched Vitus brand, alongside dhb and ranges from familiar partner brands including Trek, Specialized, Cube, Brompton, Frog, and Endura.
Alongside the rest of Evans Cycles’ stores, its new site will offer a range of finance options, the government-backed Ride to Work scheme, and a click and collect service.
