Kenworth Sales Company’s grand opening celebration for its new $13 million, 122,000 square-foot flagship location was recently held in Salt Lake City. The celebration heralded the opening of Kenworth’s largest dealership location in North America, involving one of Kenworth’s oldest dealers. The special ribbon-cutting ceremony featured four generations of the Treadway family.

A member of the Kenworth dealer network of nearly 300 locations in the United States and Canada, Kenworth Sales Company’s new full-service facility offers an indoor showroom where customers can view Kenworth models in comfort. There are 55 service bays with eight bays dedicated to preventive and express maintenance services, including Kenworth PremierCare ExpressLube. Six five-ton bridge cranes, full-length service pits, and gear rebuilding capabilities make it easier for technicians to service trucks quickly and efficiently.

Kenworth Sales Company – Salt Lake City includes a spacious body shop with a paint booth, plus an indoor truck wash and a fuel island. A state-of-the-art driver’s lounge provides wireless Internet access, washer and dryer facilities, vending machines, and work space for drivers.

Kenworth Sales Company plans to offer a wide selection of both the Kenworth T800 — its best-selling model for customers in construction, mining, agriculture, long haul, parts and delivery, and logging — and of the Kenworth W900, a best-seller for fleets and owner-operators looking for a truck with a high profile appearance.
