Rex's Cycle Shop holds open house in new location Rex and Tammy Coffey, owners of Rex's Cycle Shop, Inc., welcomed friends and family to their open house last weekend. The ribbon cutting ceremony Friday morning officially declared them open for business in the new location at 1349 Campbellsville Road. Their family story is one every Adair Countian can take pride in . . . Rex's Cycle Shop was already a large business with a regional draw to its Glens Fork location but now it has room for much more inventory such as the added lines of clothing, and plenty of space to showcase the bikes as they continue to grow. It all began when Rex had what he calls a "rainy day dirt bike hobby" in his parent's basement in his early teen years. By graduation from ACHS in 1978, he was beyond the hobby stage, however, and already helping others repair their own bikes. By the time his children were in their teens, he and his wife and partner Tammy knew their thriving business had grown to a stage where it had to have more room. The growth that brought Rex's Cycle to the new location on Campbellsville Street comes up in every conversation. In answer to the question of how they accomplished all this, Tammy points to Rex and Rex points upwards. "It's nothing I've done," Rex says, "It is a gift straight from God. I can tell you the day He directed me to take the steps necessary to move us here." (More on Rex's journey with his Creator will be featured in the October print issue of Columbia! Magazine). To learn how to work on motors, Rex says, "I didn't learn as much by reading books as I did simply by observing." He learned about business by observing his Mother and Father, Leland and Imogene Coffey, who ran the country store in Glens Fork during Rex's early years. He says he also learned from observing his neighbor Daryl Grider work on motors. Rex's Mother was there at the grand opening to help him welcome the crowd. His Father passed away when he was 27, but his impact on Rex has stayed with him always. "He was my best friend," Rex says, remembering his Dad, "He taught me honesty, family values, a good work ethic, loyalty to God and to do what was right." Rex's stepfather, Garvis Grant was at the open house with Imogene and says that he's very happy for the business expansion, but they'll be missed in Glens Fork for sure.
