EquipmentShare, an integrated equipment rental and equipment asset management company, celebrated the grand opening of its new rental facility located in Grand Prairie, Texas.
“Texas has and will continue to be an important part of our business," said CEO and co-founder Jabbok Schlacks. "Grand Prairie was the third location we opened in our company’s history, so it’s an extra special day to commemorate the new building but also to reaffirm our commitment to invest and grow right here in Texas."
EquipmentShare, founded in 2015, opened its doors in Grand Prairie that same year. In total, EquipmentShare has 22 facilities in Texas.
Details about the new facility include:
- Constructed and completed this year, the new 15,953-square-foot building is a modern design that embodies the progressive mindset of the company.
- It includes 10 service bays with 10 large workstations, an equipment wash bay, a customer-friendly parts department and a 3,000-square-foot retail area.
- The new $3.7 million facility shares an equipment yard with the existing building located on Roy Orr Boulevard, which will now serve as the training center for onboarding new team members and an institutional learning hub for the company’s continuing education initiatives.
“This location is the first in a series with our company’s new rental branch look and feel. We offer reliable tech-powered rentals to builders in this community and across the great state of Texas. When they walk into this space, we want them to experience right away that EquipmentShare is the place to go for the best equipment solutions on the planet,” said Grand Prairie General Manager James Ferguson. “We also want our team members to be proud of their work home, and we believe this new space accomplishes that while offering plenty of room to grow for years to come.”
Ferguson brings years of experience to the role, helping to build the success of EquipmentShare in Grand Prairie. Building up and bettering the communities EquipmentShare serves is also part of the company’s mission and People First culture. At the grand opening, the team plans to present a check of $3,500 to the Grand Prairie Family YMCA to support its efforts to provide a safe place for area youth to be kids.
