Grey Ghost Bicycles in Glens Falls is opening a new store in Saratoga Springs.
Located at 60 West Ave., the new retail space is more than 2,000 square feet and is part of the larger retail strip building that contains other businesses such as Wolberg Lighting Design & Electrical Supply.
According to Steve Fairchild, general manager of Grey Ghost Bicycles, the existing space only needed light modifications, including cleaning and painting, which is being done by the company.
Launched in 2012, Grey Ghost Bicycles is a full-service bike shop. Along with e-bikes and professional mountain and racing bikes, they also sell bikes for children and casual riders. The company recently moved their main store into the former Post-Star building in Glens Falls.
Like the Glens Falls store, the Saratoga site will have accessible parking for customers, located right in front of the building.
“Initially we plan on having two or three employees on staff in Saratoga. We will likely use some existing staff as well and maybe add a new hire or two as we grow,” said Fairchild.
Fairchild said there is still much work to be done before they are ready to open. At this time, they don’t have a firm date set.
Upon opening in Saratoga, Grey Ghost intends to keep the same hours as they do for their Glens Falls location: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. The store will be closed on Sunday and Monday.
“We will be offering some bicycle fitting services in Saratoga, but our main fitting studio will remain in Glens Falls, as we have dedicated space for it in Glens Falls that doesn’t exist in the Saratoga location,” said Fairchild.
