Run by existing Giant dealer, Tim Harris, the store has been converted to fly the Giant flag in the heart of Rutland’s mountain biking haven.
Ian Beasant, manager director of Giant UK, commented: “We are delighted about the latest edition to our brand stores – Rutland has great facilities, we aim to offer the local community and enthusiasts a new cycling experience.”
The store will offer services such as bike fitting, a hire and demo fleet, plus retail sales and repairs.
