Cyclelife Harlow
Tony Coyle is the owner of Coyles Car Care in Harlow, Essex.. His store has now been trading for twenty years. He attended the A1 Motorstore Show in October 2006 where he was introduced to the Cyclelife concept. Tony was looking to be part of a national identity and he felt that as Raleigh was superior to Avocet which he already stocked, Cyclelife was the way to go.
Raleigh contributed 50% towards the shop fit and the signage but Tony and his staff did most of the work themselves including the merchandising of the store. Tony reported "I am very happy with Cyclelife, but I cannot determine how successful it has been until I have a full year’s trading figures, every month the sales figures are going up and I would say to any prospective franchisee JUST DO IT!"
