In the beginning of the pandemic, expectedly the toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and cleaning supplies flew off the shelves, but few expected bikes to be in low supply. Trapped in quarantine and a perpetual state of cabin fever, consumers got outdoors in a variety of ways. Hiking and biking were taken on by novices. Leery of public transportation, others chose bikes as the vehicle for transportation. As a result, bike shops' inventory dwindled. Bike experts believed the shortage would soften as weather grew colder and manufacturers increased production, but the shortage still remains. Some manufacturers have estimated the shortage to remain throughout 2021, even possibly lasting until 2022. Increasing demand for bikes is followed by demand for bike maintenance, keeping bike shops busy in the retail and service sectors. With new stimulus checks in hand and tax returns on the way, bike sales easily could continue to soar as consumers adapt to new normals. 

A number of some of the best bike shops in the nation are listed below, offering top bike brands, wheeling out excellent service repairs, hosting scores of classes, and even combining bike shops to in-house cafes. Each business has more than one location, proving their popularity, including one bike shop that has been around for over a century. 

Maglia Rosa - NYC

The native Milanese owner took his passion for cycling and experience in fashion and design to open an eye appealing bicycle boutique shop in New York City. Locals may recognize the signature pink and sleek design in either the Union Street or Industry City locations. The two locations are not identical retail shops: Union Street is focused on the retail bike shop and fit studio while the Industry City location is a self serve bike shop with a relaxed vibe and in-house cafe. A number of the bikes found at Maglia Rosa are handmade in Italy, promising quality and aesthetically pleasing design. 

Folsom Bike

Based in Folsom and El Dorado Hills in Northern California, Folsom Bike is the place for cyclists to find community and an impressive 1,000+ bikes to choose from. In tune to the needs of a female cyclist, Folsom Bike opened a section of the store dedicated to women's riders. Folsom is well-known for hosting the campaign “Proud to Ride Like a Girl” to celebrate and empower women and girl riders in a predominantly male sport. Recognizing the need for independence in bike repair, Folsom holds a free maintenance class once a month. 

Hall Bicycle Company 

Hall Bicycle Company, set with two locations in Iowa (Cedar Rapids and Cedar Falls), has a very impressive 120+ year history. As one of the oldest continually running bicycle shops in the USA, this bike shop survived two world wars, The Great Depression, and 1918 flu pandemic, settling that our current pandemic was no match for this seasoned warrior bike shop. Here, one can build their dream bike and find their YouTube videos on basic repairs, such as “How To: Pump Your Bike Tires” and “How To: Fix a Flat Tire”. 

Motion Makers Bicycle Shop

For serious cyclists, Motion Makers Bicycle Shop offers “Bike Fit”. A full “Bike Fit” session, lasting up to three hours, involves an in depth interview, assessment, analysis, and fitting to pair individuals with the right bike for their needs. Also available are regularly scheduled clinics to learn pro tips on service and repairs in addition to riding classes. All three locations reside in North Carolina: Asheville, Cherokee, and Sylva.

The Mid-Atlantic has ridden this boozy wave, too, producing hundreds of craft breweries, and making our choices for this list a tough job. (There are over 350 breweries in Pennsylvania alone!)

But we’ve persisted, and here you’ll find a list of some of the most successful and unique breweries in a region steeped in a rich beer culture. Here are our top 5 brewpubs in the Mid-Atlantic:

Wissahickon Brewing Co.

Philadelphia, PA

Wissahickon is the overachieving brewpub of your dreams. A diverse rotation of food trucks? Check. Outdoor space? Check. Family friendly? Check (and woof, even Fido is welcome). Beer yoga? Yes, beer yoga! Check. 

Winning brewpub of Philly in 2019, Wissahickon delivers all of the above, plus a nice buzz. Their 42 flavors of beer are also complimented by cider, wine, juice, and kombucha on tap. 

3 Stars Brewing Co.

Washington D.C.

3 Stars began with a batch of craft brew named Pandemic Porter. Not to worry, a name is just a name and they are safely spreading nothing but good vibes and good beers to D.C. residents through to-go orders, reservation visits, and their on-site outdoor space. 

3 Stars also has a unique beer membership club that keeps patrons well supplied and visiting often. Their Illuminati Reserve and Funkerdome Society specials give D.C. locals access to extremely-limited edition, experimental, and totally delicious beers. 

Bluejacket

Washington, D.C.

Bottle shops, curbside pick-up, and to-go windows are quickly becoming the norm, but Bluejacket goes the extra mile—literally. Local delivery makes it easy to grab your favorite microbrews (and wines, too). 

Bluejacket takes enjoying beer to the next level. The beautiful industrial space has 3 floors—and even 3 separate temperature zones to ensure you ensure a draft in the ideal environment. 

The Brewer’s Art

Baltimore, MD

The Brewer’s Art is a classic brewpub that doesn’t skimp on the flavors or the ale. The menu is full of irresistible pub grub, including the sausage plate of dreams (bratwurst and pretzel box anyone), and a weekly cookie line-up with housemade cookie milk. 

The Brewer’s Art gives a good excuse to come right back, with take home growlers ready to fill with the latest on-tap ale. And they partner with local chefs for pop-up specialties, so there’s always something to look forward to. 

Long Valley Pub & Brewery

Long Valley, New Jersey

In a state overflowing with award winning craft beer (over 100 breweries call New Jersey home), Long Valley stands out with great beer and amazing food. Housed in an old dairy house and barn, this place is just plain charming. 

Perfect for a date night out or a casual lunch with friends, snag a table outdoors, in the loft, or at the bar and relax into all things cozy among the open rafters and stone walls.  They claim it’s the most awarded pub in NJ!

Tin Lizzy’s Cantina

Tin Lizzy’s is a highly differentiated, full-service restaurant and bar that offers award-winning cuisine and signature drinks in a high-energy cantina environment. Started in 2005 by college friends in Buckhead, Georgia, they have expanded the concept around the Atlanta area.

When franchising, territorial exclusivity is occasionally given, but they are willing to consider exclusivity dependent on the initial development commitment. Tin Lizzy's Cantina are adaptable and can be built in a freestanding prototype, as a conversion of an existing free standing restaurant, in high visibility end cap locations, in high traffic street front retail locations, and in highly trafficked captive audience venues.

Lidl

Lidl is a grocery store that originated in Ludwigshafen, Germany, but made its way across the pond in 2016 to expand in the US. They operate around 11,200 stores and are active in 32 countries.

Lidl offers customers the highest quality fresh produce, meat, baked goods and household products at the lowest possible prices. The stores are adaptable for a variety of retail locations. They opened their latest location in Marietta, Georgia in December, bringing the total number of stores in Georgia to 13 and counting.

Ponko Chicken

Ponko Chicken is a privately owned start up company with many franchisees across the Atlanta area. Offering a unique spin where Japanese and western fare converge. This unique fast-casual concept aims not only to serve remarkable Japanese inspired comfort food but to provide an experience and atmosphere that makes guests feel instantly welcome.

They opened the latest location in Decatur, Georgia in September, bringing more variety to the food landscape in downtown  Decatur. This concept is great in shopping malls, free standing locations as well as mixed use shopping centers.  Ponko Chicken's other Atlanta locations are in Buckhead, Midtown, Marietta, Lenox Square Mall and Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The Original Hot Dog Factory

This fast casual joint is taking Georgia by storm. With the first Original Hot Dog Factory concept originating in Atlanta, Georgia, the company is expanding rapidly.

CBD Shops

The market for CBD is multiplying across the states, and Georgia is no different. Although the sale of medical marijuana is prohibited in the state, this hasn’t slowed the growth of locally owned CBD Shops. Georgia’s cannabis laws are among the most restrictive in the nation; focusing only on hemp and its byproduct CBD, which can be sold only under tight constraints and through a limited number of licenses.

CBD dispensary shops don’t require much space and can be beautifully showcased in less than 1,000 square feet units. In terms of pandemic-proof businesses, CBD shops are able to remain open as essential services. A few examples of expanding franchises are Franny’s Farmacy, Your CBD Store, and Carolina Hemp Store.

CorePower Yoga

CorePower Yoga is literally a hot concept: most classes are heated for ease of stretching and injury prevention. At any temperature, yoga promotes cardiovascular health, flexibility, mindfulness and stress-management, research shows. The industry leader with 200-plus national locations, CorePower offers modern spa-like surroundings and classes of varied skill levels. Heated Yoga Sculpt classes incorporate weights, while beginner-friendly classes have lighter offerings. The chain seeks studio sites throughout the U.S. and is space-flexible; locations stretch from 1,800 square feet to more than 5,000 square feet.

Orangetheory

Studio-fitness chain Orangetheory has grown at a heart-racing pace from one to more than 1,200 locations in all 50 states (and 23 countries) in just 10 years. It's done so by taking a HIIT - an acronym for high-intensity interval training - and tailoring workouts that are "science-backed and technology-tracked," ushered along by inspiring coaches. The Orangetheory theory: clients lose pesky belly fat faster this way than with low-intensity workouts, as they advance through five different colored heart-rate zones. Orangetheory seeks hundreds of new studio sites with an approximate 3,000-square-foot footprint, in upscale locations in both established and growing markets.

Pure Barre

Belly up to the Barre, developers. Pure Barre is a well-established chain of nearly 550 North American studios focused around the handrail - or barre - used in ballet. Its total-body workouts produce benefits similar to yoga and Pilates, including increased clarity and mind-body awareness. Barre strengthens and tones minus the bulk-building, and improves posture, balance and agility. Classes range from "low-impact" to "total-body." Studios tend to be 1,000 to 1,800 square feet with a sweet spot of around 1,500 square feet. Pure Barre is seeking hundreds of franchise opportunities around the country.

Solidcore

Targeting the human body's small-twitch muscle fibers for crucial stamina-building, Solidcore takes resistance training and full-body conditioning to new levels, while offering a souped-up twist on Pilates and boot-camp-style fitness disciplines.

Using exclusive patented machines, Solidcore offers intense 50-minute workouts to help clients build long, lean muscle. One of the fastest growing fitness firms in the U.S. with 70 studios and in excess of 100,000 clients (including former First Lady Michelle Obama), Solidcore is a fitting choice for modest-size spaces from 1,800-3,000 square feet.

SoulCycle

There's no spinning it, SoulCycle is among the top stationary-cycling studios in the U.S. (and Canada and England) with 100 high-intensity overall locales. The chain's cardio and muscle-toning classes, held in dark, candlelit studios, give patrons both a physical and mental boost; cyclists say they emerge from sessions feeling like their best selves. Patrons ride to the beat of one-of-a-kind music playlists led by "rock star" instructors as they experience out-of-saddle moments. An hour of high-intensity cycling can torch from 500 to 900 calories; bear weights and burn more. SoulCycle entered Michigan in 2020; its studios range from 2,000 to 5,500 square feet. Have a cardio party at your center.

Do you have 1,500 to 5,000 square feet available in your center? Luckily, all of the concepts listed above are expanding across the US. As people begin to look for activities post-coronavirus quarantine, they could be flocking to your center for a work out. Let Retailsphere help you identify and reach out to the right people to bring a new experience to your vacant space. Schedule a demo today.
