Speed shops are local brick and mortar businesses which typically purvey aftermarket automotive accessories intended to increase the performance of automobiles.[1] They came into existence in the 1940s[2] in North America as a result of the then rising popularity in hotrod culture. The term has recently[when?] broadened such that it encompasses motorcycle performance.[citation needed]
