ERIK’S is pleased to announce the plan to open our newest shop to be located in Grafton, Wisconsin. Situated just north of Milwaukee, the new location is only a 20-minute drive (or a 17-mile bike ride on the Interurban Trail) from our recently opened Whitefish Bay location.
ERIK’S has purchased the commercial property and remaining inventory of Grafton Ski & Cyclery, which had occupied 1275 Washington Street in Grafton, Wisconsin. Grafton Ski & Cyclery has shut down and is no longer in business.
A liquidation sale of the remaining Grafton Ski & Cyclery inventory, which will be open to the public, is planned for October 30th-November 3. Following the liquidation, the doors will close until December when ERIK’S plans to open their all-new Grafton location in the same commercial space.
Owner and Founder, Erik Saltvold, is very excited about the opportunity to open in Grafton. “Grafton is a beautiful community, and we look forward to getting the new location opened to serve Grafton and its surrounding communities”
