Alpharetta Power Equipment Grand Opening

Wow, I can’t believe that it has been over 100 days since we opened the doors on our fourth outdoor power equipment store in Alpharetta. It’s hard to believe that it has been 70+ days since we did the official “ribbon cutting ceremony” on the new store.

We are so proud of the new location. The team in Alpharetta definitely represents our family well. They personify the statement that we’ve made many times that “Equipment Experts Don’t Wear Aprons.”

After opening the doors up in Alpharetta we have had incredible response from the community. From day one we had long time and loyal customers who would drive to Duluth for equipment needs, parts or service, but now they are able to receive the same level of customer service closer to home or their businesses. We are really excited about their continued growth.

That all being said… Did you see some of the pics from our grand opening?

I had forgotten that it was actually snowing at the Alpharetta store on the morning of March 22.

The light snow quickly disappeared as we kicked off the grand opening.

Scag and Echo were on hand

Mal McEwen, a North Georgia Chainsaw artist, was on hand both days using his many Echo chainsaws to carve up some amazing pieces of art.

We even had Mal carve the official ribbon that we would later cut. Amazing job.

The weekend was a little wetter than we had hoped, but it was still very much a success. I guess the best thing that can be said about this official opening, is that… WE’RE OPEN! If you’re anywhere near Alpharetta, John’s Creek, Milton, Roswell, Cumming, East Cobb, Woodstock and need lawn power equipment, parts or service, we’re ready to impress you and win you over as our long time customer.

Come say hi!
