Kevin King, manager of the John Deere dealership, said the new building will become the farm equipment repair shop for the business.

Located at 7001 Manufacturers Drive, the 17,300 square foot dealership will house the YES JCB division for sales, parts, service and rentals, as well as Yale Fork Lift sales, service, parts and rentals.

It's just been incredible the amount of traffic that our new building has brought. We really look at it not necessarily as building a new building. For us it's more about how much better it allows us to serve our customers,? says Bill Shrock, owner of Plevna Implement, Plevna, Ind.

In March of 2012, Brikey's Farm Store's Henry, Ill. location completed its new 41,000-square-foot building, which sits on 17 acres. The new building was designed as a multi-propose building, keeping resale in mind, according to Jerry Read. The facility includes a top-notch expo center that is used for customer clinics. Another unique feature is the wash bay, which can fit eight combines in it. The floor is sloped outward so all the water drains to the sides. Read says this makes it possible to clean two to three machines in a row without the sludge clogging up the grate. Since the floor is mostly flat, he says that keeps the floor drier since the plumbing isn't directly under it. In addition, the mud on the floor can be scraped up at the end of the day.
