- Market Outlook / Competition
- We’re the only hockey retailer in Boulder County, located near several top facilities. We’re 5 minutes from Blue Sports Stable (2.5 sheets, large hockey population), 15 minutes from Ice Centre at the Promenade (among the largest facilities in the country), and close to YMCA of Lafayette, Apex Center, & University of Colorado rink.
Competition is minimal, with only one large chain store in the area that is poorly managed, frequently out of stock, and poor customer service. We have strong demand for high quality sharpenings over automatic machines. - Opportunities for Growth
- We've always operated on shorter hours than our competitors, closed on 11-7 Weekdays, short hours on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. We've also never run any significant paid marketing. Customers a looking for quality sharpenings and knowledgable staff. Paid marketing has huge potential.
We get a lot of questions about us opening additional locations, which would also be a potential growth.
