Brandford Bike is for sale. If you don't know, they are a well-respected web-based bike store.

It burned down this last summer, you can read about it in this thread.

Branford is selling their Intellectual Property concerning running the business. If you're setting your sights a little lower in the career spectrum....I saw that Performance is pledging to build another 100-200 stores in the next couple of years. They will need a lot of store managers, sales managers, operations managers, etc.

Something to consider if you're willing to relocate. (keep in mind their relo package is probably not too great).
