PrairieCoast Equipment: Increasing Retail Sales with a New Location

Ryan Johnson, store manager of the Kamloops, B.C., location of PrairieCoast Equipment, talks about the dealership's move from a less visible space to a new 30,000 square-foot facility along a major highway. The dealership was at the old location for over 40 years but they've seen great benefits from the expansion in terms of the level of service they can provide to customers.

PriarieCoast Equipment, a 9-location dealership with a rural lifestyle equipment-focused store in Kamloops, British Columbia, earned top honors as the 2015 Rural Lifestyle Dealer Dealership of the Year in the Multi-Store category.
