Clare's Harley-Davidson officially opened its doors to its new store on Glendale Oct. 3. The facility, boasting more than 30,000 square feet, features everything one can think of branded Harley-Davidson: apparel, memorabilia, a 10-bay motorcycle service centre and, of course, motorcycles of different makes and styles.

One key component that operater Randy Clare is proud of is the coffee shop, which is made of furnishings from the old Diana Sweets restaurant in St. Catharines.

"It's not an exact replication, but it's close," Clare said of the shop. "We're trying to recreate it all. I'm passionate about history. We hope that the coffee shop will become a destination not only for people who like Harleys, but for people who want to come and relax in our patio and have a coffee."

Clare said the store itself is meant to be a one-stop shop for everything Harley-Davidson. He said the concept came from a Harley store he visited while visit in Key West, FL a few years ago.

Clare said the Niagara-on-the-Lake store will retain the orange and black of the Harley-Davidson culture, but will be different as well. The location, at 590 York Road, was also a central reason behind its construction.

"It's right off the highway near the gateway of Niagara-on-the-Lake," he said. "It's a central location for everyone."

Clare's Harley-Davidson Niagara is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays to Fridays and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
