Over the years, Triathlon Lab has become a ‘go to place’ for professional and amateur triathletes for the retailer’s technical expertise and customer service. Earlier this year, Triathlon Lab was also recognised with a Top US Retailer award by industry association Triathlon America.
“The Wassner’s complement our family of professionals,” said Triathlon Lab founder Lloyd Taylor. “We are looking forward helping them continue their successful season and reach even new levels of accomplishment.”
