Red Deer Power Sports Name Change

[byronkentgraham]

Just heard from my cousin who is a mechanic at RDPS and as of tomorrow they will be known as Cycle Works Red Deer. Not sure if that means new ownership or what.

If this is accompanied by an inventory change, some new competition in RD would be great!

 

[byronkentgraham]

Sounds like Yamaha is releasing some cool stuff this year not sure what that entails hopefully it will kick all the jap manufactures into gear to start competing again.

I would assume they were bought out by Cycleworks. Its a registered name and no one else should be able to use it.

Cycle works also brought out Seitzco Motorsports here in okotoks must be trying to buy up all the smaller dealers.

Red deer power sports is by no means a small dealer. One of the biggest on the western side of N/A.

More for my own curiosity, they have changed their name once already, no?

who told you that, and what do they measure biggest by? they have a large showroom but net to zero product, little used product, and there acessory dept is highly lacking in product also, i'm thinking someone is shinning u on, turples is larger in every dept, more product on the floor, way more acessories, looks like larger parts product as well. but power sports is larger than area polaris dealers, or our cowasuki dealer(canadian tire has more than this idiot). be interesting with the name change to see if anything changes for the better? very interesting indeed.

i will say power sports has been good with parts for the new arctic ktty mud friggin beast, had alot of the parts i needed in stock and overnight or end of week for anything else. who is yer cousin BKG, seems i lost my guy in the service desk.

Martin's and Cycle Works are going the route of farm implement dealerships with all there stores.

not sure if it will be good for the sport or not, i'm thinking not in the end! car lots are the same, cam clark and wheatons are buying up all the area dealers, eliminate competion, and probably to get there retail prices up higher, less customer dickering.

They have there advantages and there disadvantages thats for sure. Better selection on parts, units and even used units as they can pull from one store to the next for customers needs but prices tend to go up as they become the only option around.

 

[imdoo'n]

just what i was thinking, but stocking parts is costly, money just sitting until said parts move, will be interesting for sure.

I agree Turple Bros has more inventory. However most of RDPS units are in the storage building behind the main Building. They have a Ton of units in there. Dont think they sell that much tho.

Also. Parkland Sled in Red Deer doesnt have a huge show room or accessory department but
they sell alot of Units. Doug Westman the old owner told me they sold 200razors in 2011.

I'm talking in terms of showroom square footage.

 

[imdoo'n]

no idea on sales etc, just looking at the store size, parkland has about 8-10 units on the showroom floor, looks really small, still i think rainy creek sells way more units, but have really no idea.

I meant smaller than cycle works in general they are a big company when you add up all there shops.
