About
Strauss Skates and Bicycles is a 5th generation family owned and operated business located in Maplewood, Minnesota. Strauss began in 1887 as a bicycle and skate blade manufacturer. They soon became some of the finest blades in the world and customers ranged from Olympic Gold Medalists to The Chicago Blackhawks to local St. Paul residents simply wanting to enjoy our beautiful winters. Over the years, Strauss expanded to retail sales of speed skating, hockey, and figure skating equipment.
Today, Strauss is a full service retailer of hockey and figure equipment, as well as cycling, and team apparel with full custom embroidery, sublimation, and screen printing services, and even yard and garden sheds...yes sheds! Strauss maintains a factory authorized skate and bicycle repair shop as well as expert skate sharpening.
At Strauss, we make it a point to know our game. Our employees are current and former hockey players, referees, coaches, and longtime fans of the game. The friendly and knowledgeable staff at Strauss is dedicated to exceeding your expectations. With an average full time tenure of more than 17 years, the experience is unrivaled.
