Whayne Supply Company broke ground in December on a new Lexington facility in December, marking the company’s intent to grow and expand its operations in the region.
The proposed 89,000-square-foot facility, to be located at Jaggie Fox Way and Citation Boulevard, will replace the company’s current facility at 195 Lisle Industrial Avenue. The new facility is slated to open in late 2016.
“This new, full-service facility will allow us to move forward in serving our customers more efficiently, while continuing to provide the value they expect and depend on,” said Monty Boyd, president of Whayne Supply Company, in a release on the groundbreaking.
The new location will feature an expanded product line in agri-business, earth-moving and power systems, and will include sales, parts and service departments. Field service technicians and trucks will also be kept at the new location for dispatch across the region. Whayne Supply Company also plans to use the new facility to expand its body and paint services for on-highway trucks, buses and earthmoving customers in the area.
