Specialized – Fulton Market and Lincoln Park
TWO LOCATIONS NOW OPEN IN CHICAGO Specialized has partnered with the greatest independent bicycle retailers in the country since 1974 and continues to do so, but as brick-and-mortar retail develops, the risks at retail get greater for small businesses and there are some risks we choose to take ourselves, testing opportunities and experiencing learnings first-hand to better serve our riders and retailers and support the growth of the cycling community in Chicago.
With this, we have curated two retail spaces in Lincoln Park & Fulton Market where Specialized offers more than just our goods and services; with a limited and curated on-hand inventory and a focus on blending digital and physical retail, we offer transformative, inclusive, ride-focused, and locally authentic experiences in order to serve our local riders and better support our retail partners.
