Proud owners
Three visionary STUDIO CYCLE - GARNEAU CONCEPT co-owners, Ghyslain Larose, Pascal Gagné and Jean-Pascal Lion, decided to go on this gratifying adventure made in Quebec. "My partners and I, all passionate cyclists, were totally convinced that partnering with the best, Louis Garneau, was the only way to go to have a store with such scope and prestige. Its size and the multitude of products make it a truly immense store. And the man himself, our very own Garneau, is synonymous with quality," says Ghyslain Larose, president of STUDIO CYCLE - GARNEAU CONCEPT. Larose is famous in the cycling world having represented Canada at home and abroad, earning several gold medals along the way. Just like Louis Garneau, he used his competitive spirit and invested his positive energy into entrepreneurship. He founded Studio Cycle, the largest SpinningTM centre network in Quebec with 18 centres mainly located at Energie Cardio outlets. The company also owns some franchisees that offer SpinningTM classes to companies and schools, thanks to their mobile units. Studio Cycle also sells and repairs all sorts of SpinningTM bicycles everywhere in Quebec.

 

It was the new STUDIO CYCLE - GARNEAU CONCEPT shop's grand opening on March 10, 2010, in Boisbriand. Many guests and public figures were there to enjoy the scope of this seventh heaven intended for both sports pros and enthusiasts, offering the widest Louis Garneau products selection in Canada.
