Dear Progression Community:
It’s been a while since we’ve penned a large announcement like this, and believe me this comes with a whole flurry of emotions for me.
It is time to announce that my family and I are about to embark on the next chapter and likely one of the biggest life changing decisions we will ever make. Progression Cycle will be closing our stores permanently at the end of September. My family and I have been granted an amazing opportunity to move to a beautiful mountain town in Northern Idaho.
There are a lot of words and emotions that come to the surface when I reflect on the last ten years. Firstly, I am immensely grateful for the amazing community we have built. It has truly been the most enjoyable way to spend almost a decade of my life making connections with our customers and we hope positively impacting peoples lives by sharing my passion for biking with them.
Secondly, I am so proud of what my wife and I have been able to accomplish building our business from the ground up while also starting our family and raising young children. It has truly been the most gratifying experience and our success was only possible with the amazing support we received with our customers. Even the customers who gave me a chance when I was just starting out in our garage.
Thirdly, I am feeling optimistic about the future of cycling here in WA and what the rest of the community will continue to be able to accomplish together. But the key to this success is and always has been coming together as one. I implore you to give back your time to continue to make this place THE PNW riding destination we all know it is.
Thank you again for the support over the last 9 years. It is a journey my family and I will never forget and truly something that made me a stronger and better person.
Matt
