and a six bay shop.

off the 610 Lockwood Drive.

John Bennett gave Jon Loring Sr the opportunity to buy into Utility.

We opened our first store in the Rio Grande Valley, in Pharr, Texas. It started
as no more than a shed. We moved into a larger building later and had Trailer
Sales, a parts area and eventually added a Service Department after having to
do all service jobs in a “lean to”.
