Endure It! Sports Expansion Announcement!!

Endure It! Sports LLC is excited to announce a fantastic new location! The current Endure It! sports on 5th Avenue, as well as Endure It! Life on South Washington, will remain intact as is.
The new operation will be located at the corner of 75th Street and Route 83 (Kingery Highway) in Willowbrook.

The new Endure It! location will offer much of what we have had great success with already as well as opportunities to expand on what our customers have requested... More, more, more!

The Willowbrook location will offer new bike lines including GIANT and FELT (triathlon, lifestyle and road). We will also offer CERVELO!

With the fantastic exposure, location, new bike lines, and HUGE floor space we will be able to offer many more bikes across numerous applications and price points including "lifestyle," cyclo-cross, road, triathlon, women-specific, mountain and more! We'll also have plenty of accessories.

Endure It! Willowbrook won't forget its training roots. The new location will offer a beautiful state-of-the-art stadium-style Computrainer setup that will take your breath away.

The "build out" of the new space has already begun and new developments will be announced as soon as they are available. We are forecasting a March opening date.
