Decaturish reported this a couple of weeks back, but Decatur Bikes recently made it official with a few new signs in the window!

That close a move should be pretty seamless. Any info on who will move into Decatur Bikes’ old spot?
There was talk of the Pinewood expanding but last I heard they said they had been unable to work something out with the landlord. Could still happen, I suppose.
I asked the bartender the other day and they are still hoping to do so but unsure…
Anyone know who the landlord is for that building?
Cartel Properties
Why in the world would they move to a space so close to their current space? Landlord/rent issues? Favor to Pinewood? Hard to understand since the same Landlord probably owns both spaces.
From the Decaturish article:
Mark Scarbrough, general manager of Decatur Bikes, said the store may reopen at its new location in a month. The business is still in the permitting phase, he said.
“We’re building out a nicer, cleaner look store that fits better with new Decatur,” he said.
And what is new Decatur?
“To me it’s lots of apartments, younger folks moving in,” he said.
