Thurman’s Bike & Sport Supersizes
Thurman’s
Bike & Sport has been serving southeast Nebraska for over twenty eight years.
Started in April of 1981 on the downtown streets of Nebraska City, the store
opened selling only Schwinn bicycles and Nike shoes. Back then it was
affectionately known as “Bike and Nike.” Several years later the addition
of more sporting goods and embroidery and engraving services forced a move to a
larger building.
Thurman’s Bike & Sport continued to grow adding more services, sporting goods
and
Exercise equipment. Customers were coming from Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and
Kansas. Soon, 3000 square feet was too small and a small gas station was leveled
making way for a new 6600 square foot building with 22 foot high vaulted
Ceilings. This new building opened May 15th 2009.
Careful attention was put into the construction of the new building to make it
as environmentally and energy efficient as possible. From the wall and floor
thickness to the geothermal heat pumps and rain water barrel containment every
opportunity to conserve energy or recycle past materials was used.
On this site you will find information and pricing on the
merchandise and services that we provide. You can also learn more about the
construction of an eco friendly building and the importance to “think green” in
the daily activities of our lives. We welcome all comments or questions whether
they are about our products or services or our care to protect our environment.
