Ashley Green said she recently opened Wink Industries in Longford, which sells pit bikes and accessories.

“There’s definitely a market for it, because there’s nothing like that out there,” she said.

She said the store opened out of hours to suit individuals working full-time, and allowed her to maintain her position as an account executive at Toll.

“We both still do our full-time jobs, but it’s running pretty well because we’re all set up.”

“I finish work at 4pm each and he (her partner) finishes at 3.30pm, so we go straight from there to the shop. There’s more of a market out of hours.”
