Brandt Agriculture has opened an expanded dealership in Red Deer County.
The dealership offering Brandt and John Deere products, parts and service replaces a smaller Red Deer location.
“We are extremely excited about our new facility in the Red Deer area. Establishing an expanded presence with this new location reinforces our commitment to local farmers and the economy,” said Andy Semple, Brandt senior vice president of operations—ag. “This new dealership, with expanded capabilities, will keep our customers up and running even more effectively than before.”
The 43,975-square-foot dealership includes a 25,200-square-foot maintenance shop with 14 fully equipped bays, as well as a 7,500-square-foot parts warehouse. The dealership also has an enclosed equipment storage area for staging and service of equipment throughout the year, including an enclosure to stage equipment in the winter. Also included is dyno equipment to perform complex performance tests, a dedicated equipment pickup service, and two wash bays for equipment cleaning.
Red Deer County Mayor Jim Wood welcomed the business, which is located just north of the Junction 42 development at Highways 2 and 42 near Penhold. A grand opening took place on July 18.
“I am confident this facility will successfully serve central Alberta’s unique composition of urban, rural, industry and agricultural farming base communities,” said Wood, adding that location offers easy access for farmers.
