Owning and managing Alamo Cycle Plex is the best thing in life for me right now because it’s my baby. I don’t think they have the same passion that I do. My competitors had their stores for years and they’ve been handed down from their dad or grandad to them. Q: What is one thing that separates your business from the competition. One of our taglines is “We Sell Fun.” The other one is “King of Events.” Although our business hours are Tuesday through Saturday, often on Sundays and Mondays we’re either sponsoring a motorcycle ride or a day at the dirt bike or street bike track to provide more opportunities to engage with our customer base after the sale. We really go the extra mile by putting together a lot of events that our customers enjoy. Sometimes that theme is overstated by a lot of retailers: They want that perception, but they don’t really do the hard work to make it happen. Not only do I have my family working in the store, but the employees are treated like family, and so are the customers. I bought it to become my family’s legacy, and we take that family approach very seriously. I bought the store after a successful career as a financial adviser. We have the traditional sales, parts and service model that every dealership has, but beyond that we do many things to engage with our customers. Q: Please tell us how you ensure your customers will become raving fans of your company? We’re a rarity in the industry in that all under one roof we have six manufacturers – including Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, Polaris and Vanderhall – and it gives us and our customers an extreme advantage with one-stop comparison shopping. I purchased the dealership two and a half years ago from the Sistrunk family, who started the Alamo Cycle Plex back in the early 1970s. We’re located in San Antonio and are one of the largest motorcycle dealerships in Texas.
