SPRINGFIELD, MA (March 15, 2018) – Indian Motorcycle, the Springfield-born pioneers of the American motorcycle industry, have debuted the brand’s first-ever apparel store as an anchor tenant of MGM Springfield’s retail collection. The flagship location opened its doors at the highly anticipated MGM Resorts International property on August 24, 2018.
  
The Indian Motorcycle store offers items from the brand’s casual apparel line, the Indian Motorcycle 1901 Fashion Collection. This road-ready collection features graphic tees, sweatshirts, hoodies and jackets inspired by Indian Motorcycle’s rich heritage. Indian Motorcycle jewelry and accessories are also available for purchase.
 
Mirroring the aesthetic of the store’s product lines, the space features an industrial-yet-modern vibe with exposed, vaulted ceilings and concrete and wood elements. 
 
Revered worldwide as America’s first motorcycle company, the legendary brand originated in Springfield, Mass. in 1901. Paying homage to its long-standing roots in the heart of Springfield, the location opens onto to the resort’s highly anticipated plaza.
 
“Our partnership with Indian Motorcycle reinforces the iconic brand’s deep connection to Springfield and celebrates the city’s industrial history,” said Michael Mathis, president of MGM Springfield. “This store is an integral part of the fun, one-of-a-kind experiences we’re creating at MGM Springfield.”
 
Steve Menneto, president of Indian Motorcycle Company, said, “Indian’s legacy as America’s first motorcycle company is something that’s extremely important to us, and it’s exciting to return the brand to its roots in Springfield with the opening of our first apparel store. We are proud to be a part of this dynamic new MGM Resorts property and look forward to the grand opening festivities.”
 
Former bicycle racers and co-founders George M. Hendee and Oscar Hedstrom invented the first engine-powered motorbikes running on then-revolutionary chain drives. Developed in the original Worthington Street factory in Downtown Springfield, the first model proved to be an immediate success for the fledgling company, fueling dramatic growth and rapid innovation in engineering and design. Indian Motorcycle refined and manufactured subsequent generations of motorcycles in Springfield at the expanded Wilbraham Street plant until 1953.
