Chinook Capital Advisors, a leading M&A advisory firm serving the needs of Pacific Northwest business owners, acted as the exclusive advisor to Sportworks Northwest, Inc. (“Sportworks”, or “the Company”) in its acquisition by Silver Falls Capital LLC (“Silver Falls”).

“As the global market leader for commercial bike racks for transit and a leader for bike parking solutions, Sportworks is poised for even stronger growth over the next few years as demand in the market is expected to accelerate. We look forward to watching the Company continue to innovate with new products and expand into new markets,” added Ed Kirk, co-founder of Chinook.

It was important to find the right partner who shared the Company’s mission of promoting bicycles as a convenient, equitable, and cost-effective mobility solution. We found this with Silver Falls,” added John O’Dore, co-founder of Chinook.
