Bike shop on the way

Humongous leaps in price at the pumps and a Tour de France summer might bode well for a new bike shop coming to North Raleigh. Trek Bicycles of Raleigh is a newish offering from the company that produced the bikes Lance Armstrong rode in France. The store will be the first for North Carolina and the 15th nationally. It's not quite a franchise, store owners partner with Trek to sell the bikes in a format that highlights the Trek inventory. They don't pay royalty fees and have a beeline to the latest Trek inventory.

The North Raleigh location will have 4,250 square feet of retail space in a new building in the Falls River Town Center off Durant Road.

The store is slated to open by November.

Some new dry cleaners are setting to tap into northern Wake dirty laundry.

Triangle Dry Cleaners will openby December in the Shoppes of Heritage near the intersection of Rogers and Forestville roads.

The chain looks to open up to five stores in the next 18 months. For more details, visit www.triangledrycleaners.com.

The Village Deli at the Factory is slated to open this week. It's located on Main Street in Wake Forest.
