Nfld Kenworth moves to bigger digs

MOUNT PEARL, Nfld. — Kenworth of Newfoundland has moved its parts and service facility in Mount Pearl to a new, much larger location.

The 35,000 square-foot facility, which is located on six acres at 172 Glencoe Dr. in the Donovan Industrial Park less than a mile south of its previous location, accommodates triple the amount of service space and more than quadruples parts department size, the company says.

The move will allow the dealership to expand its service department from three to 10 drive-thru service bays, each of which are long enough to fit a tractor and two trailers in a B-train configuration.

"When we opened a Kenworth location in Mount Pearl two years ago, the response from the community was overwhelming," said President Larry Murphy. "There are many things happening in Mount Pearl with nickel mine processing activity in Labrador and the Hibernia oil field production platform off the coast of Newfoundland. Demand for quality service and parts required us to move to a new facility where we can provide that parts and service support more quickly and efficiently."

The dealership is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 7 a.m. to noon Saturday. Call 709-364-8251 for more info.
