Founder and CEO | Windy City Motorcycle Company
Ozzie Giglio is a founder and CEO of Windy City Motorcycle Company. Mr. Giglio founded WCMC in 2000. After creating WCMC, Mr. Giglio acquired the first dealership. It had revenues of $8 million, 14 employees and was housed in 16,000 ft.². Over the course of the next 20 years, Mr. Giglio would conduct 17 business acquisitions (both stock and asset) and more than 20 Real Estate deals to grow WCMC to nearly $180M in revenue with over 300 employees and occupy approximately 500,000 sq ft of retail space. Mr. Giglio also developed over 200,000 sq ft of commercial space (along with construction financing and mortgage end loans) and executed multiple TIF agreements with several municipalities. WCMC operated multiple Harley-Davidson Dealerships in Chicagoland and greater Milwaukee. WCMC also sold Triumph and KTM motorcycles.
In addition to business, development and Real Estate transactions, Mr. Giglio also negotiated multiple commercial loans, revolving lines of credit, private debt and floor plan credit arrangements with both manufactures and commercial lending institutions. As the powersports marketplace contracted and demand for motorcycles changed, Mr. Giglio successfully executed multiple consolidations and sales transactions to reshape the Chicagoland marketplace, redefine the WCMC brick & mortar footprint and reconstitute WCMC to position the Company for sale. The anticipation of the business and sale and attending Real Estate sales is September 2025.
