Farina's

Our Story:

In 1975, Jack Farina opened his own store, Farina Cycles. The building for the store was originally a small auto repair and tire shop. He began by selling bicycles. This was before the start of the “10-Speed Bike” craze of the late seventies. Due to the seasonality of bicycle sales, Jack began selling snowthrowers in the winter to help pay the bills and to make ends meet.


Over time, Jack and his wife had five children. As the children grew, they were able to help out after school at the store. The children were active in both road racing and BMX racing and won the first road race they ever competed in! Both businesses grew as a result of his reputation for unbeatable service, selection and honest prices.

In 1982, a second floor was added to the building. This would allow the entire first floor to be used for power equipment, which now included snowthrowers, lawnmowers, chainsaws etc. (Power Equipment Home) The new 3200 square foot second floor showroom would be totally dedicated to bicycles, apparel and accessories.

Over the past 35 years, Farina’s has evolved from a one-man operation to a premier retail store. Although product selection, layouts and size of the staff have changed over the years, some things have not. Farina’s remains family owned. Jack and three of his children are actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the store.
