Bike Barn has acquired ACME Bicycle Co. and now operates six stores in the greater Houston area, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Bike Barn, which is Houston's largest independently owned bicycle dealer, acquired the Katy-based retailer's 15,000-square-foot retail center located at 629 South Mason Road for an undisclosed sum.

ACME was started in 1995 as a small shop in Katy and grew to be a strong force in the Katy cycling community. With the addition of ACME Bicycle Co., 24-year-old Bike Barn now services the Clear Lake, Rice Village, West Houston, Champions, Copperfield and Katy areas.
