Interesting that Halfords (Cycle Republic) seem to still be turning a profit on the bicycle side of the business during these tough times for retail. Anyone have any insights as to what they're doing differently (Halfords and Evans normally being clubbed together)?

Cheaper overheads? I know Bicycle Republic are “high street” but Halfords tend to be in out of town retail parks and the like.

Also in my experience, 95% of the staff in a Halfords branch will be on min wage.

Bottom end of the market, cheap shit bikes with lowest end components. Volume not quality.
