Thermo King announced that their dealerships in Springfield, Mo., and Tulsa, Okla., have been sold to John T. Cooper, a Springfield businessman, and R. Wayne Smith III, also of Springfield.

Smith has been involved with the dealership for the last 15 years.

The names for these dealerships have changed to Thermo King of Springfield, LLC and Thermo King of Tulsa, LLC, but the operations will remain in the same locations. With the exception of family members of the prior owners, all of the previous employees remain with the new entities.

Cooper, who is actively involved in the operation of other family businesses, will serve as president of the new LLCs, while Smith will be the CEO and responsible for day-to-day operations at both dealerships. Tim Fry, formerly of Wick's Truck Trailers, will serve as operations manager for both locations and Ricky Pierce will continue to oversee the operation in Tulsa as the general manager.
