Giant Makes Entrance into Dorset with Poole Store Debut

Cycle Paths, a well-known store at The Dolphin Poole for two decades, has gone into partnership with the international cycling brand, Giant. Together, they've unveiled Dorset's first Giant store.

Formerly known as Cycle Paths, the store has been revitalised and expanded following a substantial investment in its refurbishment. Now proudly rebranded as Giant, the store has greatly added to its retail space with a second floor. This expansion aims to offer locals a wider array of bicycles, apparel, and accessories.

The Director at Giant Poole, Matt Banks stated: “This is such an exciting time for our team, having all our hard work recognised by such a prestigious brand in the industry is truly something worth celebrating. Our previous owners should be proud of running such a successful family business, as this is what has led to this incredible opportunity to expand, diversify and enhance our offering.”

John Grinnell, centre manager at The Dolphin Poole, continued with: “We are so proud of all that Cycle Paths has achieved over its last 20 years of business and this fantastic opportunity has secured the store’s future for another 20 years and beyond.

“At The Dolphin Poole we are continuing to attract heavyweight national and international brands to Poole town centre, while we nurture our local businesses and entrepreneurs who call us home in Kingland. This is what makes Poole such a diverse place to shop, eat, work and learn.”

The Managing Director of Giant UK, Ian Beasant, commented: “Giant stores’ success is built with cutting-edge products from our house brands; this, combined with the passion, knowledge, and energy of store owners, is our winning formula. Giant Poole is an exciting addition to a 34-strong store network.”

Situated in Falkland Square, just outside The Dolphin, the store is open from Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 5:30 pm. For those eager to visit Giant Poole, click here for their website or contact them at 01202 680123.
