Starting a Business from scratch, i.e. Rider 2 Rider
Mar 29th 2020
We are in the midst of the 2020 corona pandemic. This year will mark the 9th year since starting this company. Rider 2 Rider Liquidators was born out of necessity and passion. After 30 some odd years in the powersports business, starting out as a lucky motorcycle enthralled kid (where are they now?) I carried a box into a shop with a motor I pulled out of my YZ looking for help to fix it. You see, I bought the bike from selling my car and proceeded to seize the motor only 5 days later. Well, the rest was history. Little did I know that on that fateful day I was entering my career for the next 40 plus years, in the business I love. After leaving a prominent dealership and looking for my next step, I thought why not, it is time to start my own store. On Oct. 21st, 2011 Rider 2 Rider Liquidators was born. Starting in my garage selling on Ebay and craigslist I began selling anything I could get a hold of. Moving to a 13x13 office that year, then a 700ft storefront in January 2012, I began to grow, needing more space. We moved 4 times in a 2 year period to get to our current location 2305 S. State Hwy 121 Lewisville, Tx.
By this time we were fully a liquidation company specializing in package damage, returned amazon, freight damage, closeouts, disco'd and used. Well as time went on, I dabbled in going to rallies with some stuff and noticed our store's HD merchandise was ever popular. As it was, a lot of walk-ins had Harley's and it became more clear the avenue we needed to go, which was a full on biker store, hence the name change and the evolution to the store you see now known as Riders Biker Gear and Supply. Now with the expansion in place, it is truly a dream come true!
