After nearly a decade in business, Flagler Bike Shop has announced a change in ownership.
The shop is now owned and operated by manager Mark Vickers, who has been with the business almost since it opened. Vickers has overseen the shop's day-to-day operations for the last several years, a Flagler Bike Shop press release said.
Flagler Bike Shop, located at 109 Flagler Plaza Drive, was founded in 2016 by Tom and Kelli Nugent and serves bike riders of all skill levels. The shop has experts in repairs, bike sales, group rides and community event and is known for its personal service, knowledgeable staff and dedication to growing the cycling culture, the press release said.
Former owners Tom and Kelli Nugent said running the Flagler Bike Shop was "more than a business" but was a where friendships were formed, experiences shared and "a vibrant cycling community was built," the press release said. The Nugents intend to focus on spending more time with their two young children.
“We’ve had the unique opportunity to make a living doing something we love,” he said. “We’ve learned so much, had a lot of fun, and met so many incredible people along the way."
The Nugents may be stepping away from the business but will remain active in the local cycling community, the press release said. Vickers said he looks forward to continuing the shop's legacy.
“This shop is special, and I’m honored to have the chance to carry it forward,” Vickers said. “I want to build on what’s already here and keep providing the personal, community-focused service that sets us apart.”
