NITRO Motorcycle Parts & Accessories was established in 2005 when brothers, Michael & Charles Licup, got the idea of starting a motorcycle shop because they see that the number of motorcycle users is growing at a fast rate. In addition, his family has been in the retail business(hardware store) since 1906 so the retail business is nothing new thing to them. After a few months since Nitro has opened shop, it has been the number 1 motorcycle shop in Candelaria, Quezon because of its low priced inventory and complete range of motorcycle parts & accessories.
NITRO sell motorcycle accessories, tires (Dunlop, Deestone, Leo,Taiyo, Swallow, Mizzle, Sony, Sapphire, Innova, IRC, race tech, braze tech), lubricants(Shell, Castrol, Petron, ENOC), bolts and more.
Michael Licup has a degree in Hotel Restaurant Management from La Salle-College of St. Benilde. He was a consistent dean’s lister.
In 2008, Charles Licup saw a business opportunity to make a franchise system for Nitro. He has a degree in Marketing Management from De La Salle University. He also has attended the John Maxwell Leadership Summit in Manila and has taken post-graduate courses in Retail Management from the Ateneo Business Graduate School. Currently, he is the manager of the Licup Builders Home Center.
As of September 2011, NITRO has 1 company-owned branches and 3 franchised branches and more are soon to open.
Vision:
To be the number 1 motorcycle franchising company in Luzon.
