Chain Reaction closes Los Altos store.
I was just in Los Altos today and noticed that Chain Reaction is gone.
This is the store owned by Steve and Mike Jacubowsky--Mike used to post in this group. Their Redwood City store is still open. I was surprised to see it gone. That store was located in an area where people have high disposable incomes, and was the only Trek dealer in the area. They said that parking and rent were issues. The space is still empty and they closed about 2.5 months ago, so no one is a rush to rent it. That shopping center can get very crowded because there is a popular Trader Joe's and a popular produce store, and an unpopular Rite Aid store. Also there's both a Starbucks and a Peet's coffee. I never bought a bicycle from them, my only Trek is a tandem and when I bought it Chain Reaction didn't have the size I needed in stock, even though they were cheaper than the place I ended up buying it from. For all the other bicycles we've bought in the past 25 years or so Trek did not have any models that met our needs, and Chain Reaction is a Trek-only store. But I know a lot of people who bought expensive carbon-fiber bicycles from them, one multiple times after the carbon-fiber frame broke. They were a very well thought-of shop for Trek buyers. |
