RideNow Group Inc., a U.S. powersports vehicle retailer, announced the opening of a new flagship facility for RideNow Powersports Gainesville. Relocating from its former site at 4820 NW 13th St. to 4222 NW 13th St., Gainesville, Florida, the new location has been engineered to be a powersports superstore that will upgrade the customer buying and ownership experience in North Central Florida.
The expanded facility is located just half a mile from the current dealership, remaining accessible while offering significantly upgraded amenities. The facility will feature a 25,000-square-foot indoor showroom, a 150% increase in capacity and a larger, fully paved exterior lot.
Inventory Capacity and Brands
The larger footprint will allow the dealership to maintain a substantial “ready-to-ride” inventory of more than 500 vehicles, providing customers with a selection of motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs and personal watercraft.
The new Gainesville location will offer brands including Can-Am, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Sea-Doo, CFMOTO, Kayo and Denago. With both new and pre-owned inventory available, customers will have access to a broader range of models, colors and price points.
“This new facility will deliver a significantly enhanced customer experience, with a much larger indoor showroom and an expansive paved lot, which will be perfect for our monthly bike nights and other local events,” said Pete Strebbing, general manager of RideNow Powersports Gainesville. “Our increased inventory ensures customers can find the perfect ride for their next adventure — whether on pavement, dirt or water.”
Service, Accessories, Hiring
In addition to improving the retail experience, the expanded facility is expected to support local economic growth through increased hiring. The building will also have a larger service department and an expanded accessory and apparel department, featuring a wide selection of gear.
“We are constantly looking for ways to elevate the buying experience for our customers,” said Cam Tkach, chief operating officer of RideNow. “This new Gainesville superstore is a perfect example of our strategy in action. Providing an unmatched variety of product choices and great customer service are just a couple of the ways we are adding long-term value to our business and to the communities we serve.”
The move to the new store in Gainesville takes place this week. The grand opening celebration will take place later this month.
