Charles R. Conte, Sr. opened the first Conte’s bicycle store in Newport News, Virginia in 1957. Conte, the son of Italian immigrants, was a hard working machinist at a nearby shipyard when he opened his small, neighborhood bicycle and repair shop.Conte ran the shop based on his love of bicycles and his vision of providing personal service, and top quality products that he could personally guarantee. By 1960, the store was doing so well that Conte left his job to devote his efforts full time to the store. In the bicycle boom of the 1970s, he relocated and expanded his store in the Newport News Hilton area. Conte’s became famous for providing customers with a one-of-a-kind buying experience that made Conte’s customers, not only repeat customers, but customers for life. Conte’s bicycle shops were a family-run operation and Conte’s two sons, Charles Jr. and David, grew up in the business. They worked with their father first in Newport News and later in Norfolk, Virginia.
