Conte’s Bike Shop has recently upgraded its Short Pump location to a more spacious 6,700-square-foot facility at the West Broad Marketplace, nearly doubling its previous space. This move comes in response to the rising popularity of e-bikes, which now account for a quarter of their sales. Co-owner David Conte noted that the larger footprint allows for better accommodation of inventory and enhances the shopping experience.
The new shop offers a more extensive range of e-bikes, which are bulkier than traditional bicycles and require more display and service space. The relocation was strategic, as Conte’s aims to provide customers with a wider selection of high-end bikes and e-bikes, ensuring they have the right products available for enthusiasts.
Conte’s has a long history, having been established in 1957 and operating multiple locations across several states. The ambitious expansion aligns with their trend toward larger stores, reflecting a commitment to meet customer demand effectively.
