(Dallas, Texas, March 2, 2022) – We are VERY excited to announce that PLAYTRI continues to expand with a new location in Round Rock, Texas.

PLAYTRI has purchased Buc’s Bike Shop in Round Rock, which has operated in the Austin area for over 30 years with products and support for the biking community. PLAYTRI is dedicated to continuing the strong commitment in the same great location with same excellent staff.  With a new name, we will also be bringing a ton more options to meet customer needs. With the purchase of Elite Bicycles in Tyler, TX in August of 2021 and this Austin area location, PLAYTRI continues their expansion across Texas with a goal to open an additional three Texas stores in the next fifteen months.

“We continue to focus our growth across the country by purchasing and franchising stores.   With our base of operations in Dallas, our strong Texas following and the continued population growth, expansion in Texas is a strategic opportunity for us.” said Staci Brode, President of Marketing and Finance for Playtri Franchising LLC.
