Kenworth of Peterborough, a new full-service dealership, has opened at a newly renovated facility that offers easy access to the Trans-Canada Highway 7 and 115.
“Peterborough has a vibrant economy that not only supports large industry such as GE Peterborough, Pepsi QTG Canada, and Siemens Milltronics Process Instruments, but also a healthy mix of small- to medium-size businesses in the aviation, agriculture and technology sectors,” said Guy Mercier, dealer principal and president of the Mercier Group.
“We’re excited about the possibilities Peterborough offers to grow our business by providing local companies quality Kenworth trucks as well as dependable parts and service support for their trucks, regardless of manufacturer,” Mercier said.
Kenworth of Peterborough’s newly renovated 20,000 square-foot facility offers 10 service bays, a well-stocked 4,000-square-foot parts warehouse and a comfortable drivers’ lounge. The dealership is located on 10 acres at 810 Technology Drive., on the east end of Peterborough, less than a quarter mile from the Ashburnham Drive exit on the Peterborough Bypass of the Trans-Canada Highway 7 and 115. The property offers ample room for truck drivers to park their trucks and trailers.
