July 2009

KANSAS CITY, MO (July, 2009) Arrow Truck Sales, Inc., North America’s leading pre-owned truck source, has opened a new store in Denver, CO. The new facility, located at 5699 Dexter St. in Commerce City, CO will be Arrow’s 17th U.S. branch. The opening of this store will serve the entire Rocky Mountain region, in which Arrow did not have a presence.

According to Carl Heikel, Arrow’s President and CEO, opening a store in Denver helps fill that market’s needs.  “Opening the Denver market is part of our overall expansion efforts. This supports our continued growth strategy in key markets across the country. We look forward to serving new and many existing customers in that area.”

Lee Wallace, Sr. V.P., Sales & Marketing continued, “We looked at a number of different markets before we decided to open the Denver store. After a comprehensive analysis of each market’s business demographics, we determined that opening a location in Colorado was one more step in serving our customers’ buying needs. This store is centrally located in the Denver metro area.”
