J&P Cycles

Yeah.

There is a large, complete motorcycle toy collection on display that was assembled by John Parham, the founder of J&P Cycles,

who

has been collecting motorcycle toys for many, many years.

From art school to the Wharton School of Business, from merchandising floors to the executive suite, his career has been a series of unlikely chapters that somehow all connect.

His name is Stevan Popovich, and he serves as president and chief retail officer of Cycle Gear, the largest brick-and-mortar power sports retailer in the U.S., CycleGear is part of the Komodo family of brands, which also includes RevZilla and J&P Cycles, operating over 160 stores across 34 states with thousands of employees nationwide.

Stevan has been instrumental in the company's growth through strategic merchandising, product development, and M&A.

This is a conversation about what happens when you follow curiosity instead of a straight line.

What does the company look like today? What's it do? Who does it do it for?

Yeah, so the Komodo Holdings is a holding company as it is.

And we own RevZilla.com, which is an e-com pure play, J&P Cycles.com, pure play e-com with two, three stores.

Cycle Gear, which is really a brick and mortar business more than anything.

yeah.

Well, I was at J&P Cycle, you know, working there for them.

You'd probably see more people at Black Hills Harley.

I saw some pretty interesting ones at J&P, though, the year I was there that we're walking through.
