The traffic from LA thins out, the mountains are green from weeks of rain and the next stop is San Luis Obispo (SLO), a College town tucked inside the mountains a few miles from spectacular coastline.
DeFeet has a fine presence in SLO through upscale retailers such as Art's Cyclery.
Art's is a traditional bike shop with long history in this town and also has a second location as part of a Warehouse group of companies that include The Running Warehouse, The Tennis Warehouse and the Tackle Warehouse on the south end of town. With retail space, showooms and a distribution center that ships all over the world, its architecturally appealing exterior and efficient and uniquely private yet open work spaces blend the resources of like-minded companies into a sort of one stop shop experience for consumers, vendors, visitors etc.
Art's meticulous and sparkling showroom features top of the line bike gear and features its partnership with Team Columbia High Road.
We met with the buyers at The Running Warehouse and Art's Cyclery. There is great karma in this building and it is evident that the buyers have a great depth of understanding in their products and passion for what they do. We look forward to Erik's feedback on our Run Collection! I was even fortunate enough to be invited to a Yoga class - much appreciated after weeks of solo Yoga in hotel rooms.
