So sad, keep the family business of bike repair as is. The replacement business will have no heart.

This alumnus cannot help being ashamed of USC for treating so callously a treasured member of the campus community.

As an alumni, this is extremely disappointing. Someone who is part of the Trojan family should not be treated this way. I'm glad current students are fighting back.

I've worked with Aaron on the neighborhood council (NANDC) and he is a good person who cares about his community. Bill's Bike Shop (at 1314 Jefferson and owned by Aaron's father) is already being impacted by new development. And though they will get to begin anew once the proposed development is complete, they need all the help they can get to keep a consistent presence in the community.
I hope Lil Bill's Bike Shop will get to stay at USC at the least until the Jefferson development is complete.

He needs to stay around. Not every student can afford a car.

I am a resident that resides on 39th and Vermont. This is an outrage!! Evicting a business that has helped and supported many students is really disheartening. Please keep their doors open.

Please figire out a way to allow Lil Bill to remain in the USC campus. Whomever wrote and signed the contract with the "Village" did not even consider the ramifications to Lil Bill and his business.
This is why I sent my baby to Santa Clara University. #FatherLocatelli

He's part of the USC Family, and we always support our own. Change is great, but not when it's the expense of the livelihood of our family member.

Change is not always good. If this man has been part of the fabric of USC for over 40 years, he should remain. The noncompete clause should apply to future businesses, not existing ones.

I grew up in this neighborhood. Also had our family's bikes serviced here. Commercial bike shop will not have half the knowledge nor customer service! Keep Bill's Bikes Spot!!!!
