Windy City Motorcycle Company, operator of several Harley-Davidson Dealerships in the Chicago market, has “optimized” their network of dealerships. “After an extensive study in conjunction with Harley-Davidson Motor Company on the number and locations of Harley-Davidson, it was determined that the number of dealerships within the region needed to be reduced,” explains Matt Sheahan, President of Windy City Motorcycle Company. In order to provide enhanced customer convenience, services and exceptional experiences, a plan has been developed to consolidate operations of 3 dealerships into nearby existing locations.
As part of this plan, Barbed Wire Harley-Davidson in DeKalb, Illinois, will be consolidated into nearby Fox River Harley-Davidson in St. Charles, Illinois, effective December 15th. In addition, City Limits Harley-Davidson in Palatine, Illinois, will be consolidated into nearby Lake Shore Harley-Davidson in Libertyville on December 15th. Finally, Chicago Harley-Davidson of Wrigleyville will be consolidated into Chicago Harley-Davidson located in Rosemont, Illinois, sometime in 2024.
“Our company was founded by avid motorcycle enthusiasts looking to deliver exceptional customer experiences.” says Sheahan. “These moves will allow us to continue to provide the highest levels of customer services, convenience and experiences with dealerships located at ideal locations in the market while maintaining extended hours of operations and 7 day a week availability within the Chicago metro area and allowing us to expand services to make Harley-Davidson dealerships in the area even more dynamic for more riders.”
Windy City Motorcycle Company appreciates the loyal customers of these dealerships and will work to ensure they are well served throughout the greater Chicagoland area. Fox River Harley-Davidson will be hosting a Barbed Wire Harley-Davidson Customer Welcome event on January 13th. Lake Shore Harley-Davidson will be doing the same for City Limits Harley-Davidson customers on January 13th as well.
