Edmonton Kenworth recently opened a major, new full-service dealership with 42 service bays in Leduc, Alberta.
In celebration, Edmonton Kenworth – Leduc will host an open house from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18. The dealership will provide food and refreshments and guided tours of the facility, plus offer multiple interactive parts and truck displays. More than 2,000 customers have been invited. The dealership will also hold a ribbon-cutting event on Thursday, Sept. 17, with the Leduc city and county mayors, regional chamber of commerce, members of parliament and Kenworth representatives as special guests.
Edmonton Kenworth – Leduc is on 16 acres at 8202 42nd Street near the Edmonton International Airport. It features an 111,500-square-foot main building with an indoor showroom large enough for customers to view up to four Kenworth trucks out of the elements.
The main building also offers several specialty bays to provide service for fabrication, component rebuild and liquefied natural gas-powered commercial vehicles, four triage bays to provide customers rapid diagnostic reports, plus a 37,000-square-foot parts department providing customers access to more than $5 million worth of parts inventory. A second 17,000-square-foot building features four quick-lube service bays for preventative maintenance service, two drive-through wash bays and two alignment bays.
“The greater Leduc area is at the heart of the oil patch industry, so this location with its proximity to a major north-south route and close to the airport just seemed a natural choice. Plus, with the strong affinity that oil patch operators have for Kenworth trucks, we wanted to provide our customers a facility that can offer them a stellar level of support,” said Gary King, Edmonton Kenworth president.
