Do you think Decathlon have had a big effect on Evans?
100% nope; Decathlon actually been scaling back their workshop for basic repair and bike build (they even got shop floor staff to do it, hence why build quality aren’t good)*.
Also, they don’t sell a lots of stuff.
It didn’t affect Evans and other shop when a decathlon opened nearby; it mean customer with new B’Twin bicycles are now coming to us for repair/services.
*according to a handful of current and ex Decathlon staffs.
They've spent £25k doing up their flagship Decathlon store's workshop in Surrey Quays and know there are plans for other stores so expect them to absorb some of the Evans trade.
