In March of 1999 the CDC approved a loan in the
amount of $50,000 to Tullios Big Dog Cyclery. The project was the purchase of a 2,400 square foot building in
LaSalle, IL.
The company was established in 1995 as a full service bicycle shop catering to both the family and
enthusiast market. They sell bicycles, cycling clothing, accessories and bicycle service. The bicycle lines include
Raleigh, Specialized, Bianchi, Torrelli and Waterford. The company has since purchased the Schwinn dealership in
Ottawa, Illinois and is the largest bicycle retailer in LaSalle County.
The primary financing was provided through a
guaranteed loan with the U.S. Small Business Administration under the Low Doc Program. The total project was
$189,000 and retained 4 jobs. |
