Sports Authority Field

September 30th, 2011 by Cale Loken

Earlier this month, The Sports Authority unveiled their new sign for their naming rights to Sports Authority Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Broncos. This is a 25 year partnership at $6 million per year, which totals $150 million. The Sports Authority’s corporate headquarters is located in downtown Denver. The naming rights transferred from Invesco to Sports Authority on August 16.

There are only a few retailers in the Sporting Goods space that could put something this together. Dick’s Sporting Goods, which is located in Pittsburgh, is another that could pull something like this off. Not sure this will pay off for Sports Authority, one thing is for sure, it was not universally accepted inside the company and may have played a part in the recent resignations of CEO David Campisi and CMO Jeff Schumacher.

April 3rd, 2011 by Cale Loken

A complete 180 degree turn from the last article on Fitness Resource.

From treadmills & ellipticals to bikes and trikes! We had a chance to get a little farther into this corporation and find an executive who oversees the cycling division, Fitness Resource Cycling. They are a hidden gem with 15 cycling locations throughout Virginia, Maryland, & Georgia. Fitness Resource Coupon

Opening their doors in 1985 to fitness experts, within the last few years they ventured into the cycling vertical. It seems to be a trend that all fitness stores are adding cycling to their selection. To many it may seem a little odd; however, it all comes down to keeping the doors open and fitness equipment has peak months on the fall and winter, and cycling peaks in the Spring & Summer. These retail stores get the best of both worlds.

There is one tricky thing, marketing. Most people have found Fitness Resource to be phenomenal at fitness equipment. How can they gain market share in the world of cycling? The best answer, to become the Fitness Resource Cycling Experts! These stores have the drive, passion, and even better, the experience to be the best specialty bike store in Virginia, Maryland, & Georgia.

Their offerings? They carry full suspension mountain bikes, road bikes, commuter bikes, comfort bikes, hybrid bikes, handle bar grips, bike pedals, mountain bike tires, road bike tires, comfort bike tires, biking computers, bike lights, bike locks, bike pumps, biking gloves, bike jerseys, bike shorts, bike pants, bike helmets, cycling shoes, hitch mount car racks, and car mounts. Offered brands include Rocky Mountain, Jamis, Bianchi, Shimano, WTB, Cat Eye, Kryptonite, Park Tool, Topeak, Crank Brothers, Louis Garneau, & Saris.

This cycling division just doesn’t sell cycling equipment & apparel. They are a full service shop offing bike tune-ups, bike repair, bike fitting, flat tire repair, bike brake adjustments, & well pretty much anything else needed to get those tires back on the road!

Good news consumers, this retailer just keeps getting better! They cycling division is not just a store that sells hardware, they care about you and you should expect the same level of excellent customer service & product knowledge that they offer in the fitness equipment department. With that, they have been given yet another “Sportrabbit.com Stamp of Approval”.

Here are the 15 Fitness Resource Cycling locations offering bikes.
