Years in business: 54 What is your background? When Gene Hill first purchased the store it was Wheel’s Inc. and they sold golf carts. He moved into our current location on Mockingbird Lane, and shortly after traded golf carts for bicycles. His son, Kirk, took over in the ’90s, and we’re proud to still serve the Amarillo community. What services or products do you offer? We offer Specialized and Trek mountain and road bicycles, Yakima bike racks, Oakley sunglasses, cycling kits and shoes, and a large variety of Chaco, Salomon and Sanuk shoes year-round. To what do you attribute your success? To our knowledgeable and engaging staff, who share our passion for reliable customer service. How does your company give back to the community? One of the causes we are most proud to be a part of is 24 Hours in the Canyon, which raises funding and awareness for cancer survivors. 80
