The Larson Group (TLG) celebrated the opening of its newest Peterbilt facility in Charlotte, N.C., Oct. 10. With roughly 500 people taking part, it was one of the best open house turnouts TLG has ever seen.

TLG, a Peterbilt dealer company with more than 20 locations, recently moved its Charlotte, N.C., operation to 3917 Trailer Drive, a five-minute drive from its former location. The new dealership fronts I-85 and is easily accessed from North Graham Street and Statesville Road.

At approximately 62,000 sq. ft. set on a 9-acre tract, the new Peterbilt of Charlotte facility is more than double the size of TLG's previous facility and provides more customer accessibility to the company's services and offerings.

Roughly 13,000 sq. ft. of the new facility is dedicated to a parts warehouse, while 2,800 sq. ft. will contain a new parts showroom. In addition, the building will house 20 truck service bays, including two natural gas bays, an in-ground alignment system, a dedicated triage lane, and a FSX DPF cleaning system.

The move came in response to Peterbilt of Charlotte's growth since TLG first acquired the location in 2015.
