Gail Worth: Queen of the Road Set to Retire

Kansas City – The remarkable entrepreneurial journey of Gail Worth known as the ‘queen of the road’ is coming to a close as the owner of the iconic Gail’s (formerly known as Gail’s Harley-Davidson) heads for retirement in grand style. Worth, who has dominated the motorcycle dealership industry for over 25 years with her business in Grandview, has announced her decision to close the business on her own terms.

“I’m closing my doors while we’re on top,” Worth proudly stated. This declaration proclaims her intent to be like a quarterback who retires after winning the Super Bowl as she does not want to wait until she has to retire or shut down her business.

Worth’s determination to leave a legacy is undeniable. She will be closing the doors of her business not because she has to, but because she wants to.

The Journey of Gail’s

Gail’s, initially known as Gail’s Harley-Davidson, was established in 1999 and is set to close by June 29. Before selling her Harley-Davidson franchise in 2020 and specializing in pre-owned vehicles, Worth stood out as one of the few women-owned Harley-Davidson franchises recognized as one of the tops in the country.

Emotions for Worth are pending between overwhelming joy and tears as she stands on the brink of her retirement. Leaving behind a 25-year legacy in a male-dominated industry might prove challenging, yet Worth remains firm in her decision.

Gail’s Unique Family Experience and Atmosphere

For Worth, the success of Gail’s is a testament to the power of creating a family experience and a fun atmosphere. Worth has consistently focused on establishing an open, warm environment that everyone could enjoy. Her unique approach to business helped to build an incomparable community around Gail’s – creating a business with a ‘heart and soul’.

Kim Wilder, a member of the Gail’s team, credits Worth’s daily involvement in the business and her ability to make everyone around her comfortable as reasons why Gail’s has thrived in the industry.

The slogan for Gail’s — “Feel the Power” — doesn’t only point to the power of a motorcycle; for Worth, it signifies the power inside each person and their potential to make an impact. Worth proudly contends that Gail’s has made a significant difference in the Kansas City community.

Worth’s Future Plans

As the final chapter in the saga of Gail’s is being written, Worth’s plans for retirement include spending more time with family, riding her motorcycle and horse, and continuing her involvement in the Kansas City community. Worth also plans to start a video series called “Gail’s Open Road,” taking her fans on her adventures to different dealerships across the country.

Despite her retirement, Worth’s influence on the motorcycle dealership industry and her impact in the Kansas City community prove that she will always remain the queen of the road.
