Would somebody please carry Harlot? My hip to waist ratio is too extreme for their sizing, and I can't wear their stuff, but they make some very nice high quality goodies!

Wasn't even aware of this brand, Harlot.
Oh yea, another suggestion. Bike maps and some practical cycling books are good.
Great idea! Or designate the corner as the bike fit/diagnostics corner.Quote:

3. Make the aisles wide enough to maneuver around the merchandise with a walker or wheelchair.
4. Organize items by groups with the most popular items at eye level.
5. Always assist a customer. Don't point to a general direction and let the customer find it on their own.
6. Don't cram merchandise in too small an area. Display it where it's easy to see and handle.
7. Offer personal service.
8. Keep restrooms clean and stocked with paper goods.
9. Vacuum the floors and clean the windows daily.
10. Put misplaced merchandise back.
I have not heard of Harlot, I will check it out.
Running Mommy, congratulations on your store! When do you open? I am in that area about once a month for my other biz, maybe I'll pop in after you open!! Goodyear is a great area. We are South of Tucson, in Sierra Vista. We do carry PearliZumi, consistency in the brand has always been there, and not so much with some of the others! The nearest Performance is in Tucson, so we may have customers that pop in when they are up there so not a HUGE negative for us. We do get the customers that order from there and bring stuff in for us to install on their bikes, to fix and to explain how it works and even once asked if we could exchange it:)
I noticed in your profile you did IMAZ, that is awesome. I am only a "tinwoman" just did the tinfoil man in Tucson last month!
SunDial, we posted at the same time, we do have a large area for fit/dignostic/etc and an expert that works with people when reqeusted. It's a great service and some customers really value that!
Just a thought. It's not women who feel different in a bike shop, it's beginners of either gender. Not sure what would go there, but a beginner's corner...
