The Pete Store has selected a 15.5-acre site in Norfolk County for the first location in the area. Work has started on the site, located in Plainville, Mass. The initial phase of upgrades is expected to be completed by May.
“With the addition of this territory, we now offer support spanning one thousand miles from Massachusetts to Georgia,” said John Arscott, president and CEO of The Pete Store. “We hope fleets in New England find value in both our experience as a dedicated Peterbilt dealer, and our growing network of locations.”
