Capitol Hill Bikes sent out an email to its customers on Thursday announcing that the store has lost its lease and must liquidate its entire inventory while it searches for a new location. The cycling store has been located at 709 8th Street SE for about a decade.
The email advertised up to 75 percent off everything in the store, plus discounts on tune-ups while the service center is still open. Co-owners Denise D’Amour and Laurie Morin also included this message:
We’ve been proud to serve the Capitol Hill community for these many years and we hope to be able to do so again. Until then, we must liquidate and vacate our current space. Please show your support by doing some early Christmas shopping or getting that new set of wheels you’ve been wanting.
Thanks to everyone for their support.
Denise, Laurie and the Capitol Hill Bikes Crew.
The store will be open Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
