Owner Jason Pennington said he aims for Iron Supply Powersports in Katy to create a more inclusive environment within the powersports industry.

“Too many times I've walked into dealerships ... where I didn't feel like I belonged,” Pennington said. “We want anybody that visits this property to feel like... they're immediately accepted.”

The business sells all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles, Polaris Slingshots, apparel and parts and also offers maintenance and repair services. They relocated to a 4.5-acre campus three times the size of its original store in April.

Pennington said they will host events at the new space—including its grand opening celebration on Oct. 12, motorcycle rides and charity events utilizing the outdoor space for cornhole, food trucks and live music—to continue building a welcoming environment for all motorsport enthusiasts.

Meet the team

Iron Supply Powersports is family-owned and operated, which Pennington said is a source of pride for him.


The business was originally purchased by Pennington’s mom, Melinda Kaihara, in 2019. Evidence of Pennington's wife’s hobby of collecting antiques can be found in the store's decor, lighting fixtures and seated areas. Their older son works in sales and their younger son serves as marketing coordinator for the brand.

If it weren’t for the bonding opportunities they get from riding dirt bikes on the weekends and running a business together, Pennington said their family would not be as close.

“It’s the adrenaline rush you get from that, but also the friends you make,” Pennington said. “As Shelly and I had kids, they started hanging out with us and riding [when] they got old enough. The family experience is amazing.”
