There is a very cool shop called Grandview Cycle in the inside of the Grandview Square. This is a small bike shop with incredible employees and top of the line bikes. The people here are very nice and welcoming. There are two people that are usually there. It's the manager which is Jack and an employee named Matt. Jack is always there and is Always ready and willing to help. He is very welcoming and caring for all of the customers. Jack has been there for almost a year and has grown the bike shop so much since before he got there.
In 1937, a guy by the name of Bob Hexter started a bicycle company out of his garage and then expanded to a store space on First Avenue in Grandview Heights. This grew over to Grandview and this is where it got the name of Grandview Cycle. This shut down after some years and it reopened in 2016. This reopened on 5th Avenue and was a very good business then closed after two years.
It is now in its current space which opened in 2019 and is still on Grandview Ave. It is a lot smaller now but they are continuing to grow out. The grandview bike shop has many different bike brands that are very popular and very respected. Most of these brands are very big and have been around for a long time.
One brand is Giant. Giant is a very good brand and has been around for a very long time. This brand covers all types of bikes and all prices. A second brand is Liv. Liv is the women's version of giant and based on their bikes. Liv is a little newer than Giant but not much newer.
A third brand is Revel. Revel bikes is a brand based mostly on mountain bikes. These are more higher end bikes. Revel bikes is a newer brand made in 2016 and is made out of Colorado. The fourth is Cannondale bikes. Cannondale bikes are very nice and also cover all of the prices and types of bikes. This brand is also a very old brand and is very popular with many people and bike shops. Grandview Cycle also had a couple others before.
