UK cycling brand plunges into administration – in business since 2014

J’s Cycle Shack, a British cycling retailer that had traded for 12 years, has entered administration and is preparing to close its stores. The development puts the future of its four branches and its online sales in doubt, although it is not yet clear whether the business has stopped trading permanently.

Administrators from Seneca IP Limited were appointed on 29 October, according to The Gazette. The branches in Ferrybridge, Epworth, Wakefield and Pugneys Country Park appear temporarily closed, while the website says it is not taking online orders. The independent retailer sold premium bicycles and equipment, as well as running and triathlon products.
