The Truck Centers of Arkansas of North Little Rock bought Glover’s Truck Parts and Equipment, a Western Star truck dealership also in North Little Rock.
TCA, an Arkansas Business of the Year finalist in 2015 for companies with between 76-300 employees, said the acquisition is part of the company’s focus on growing its heavy-duty truck business. Truck Centers of Arkansas will now be a franchise for Western Star trucks and Sterling parts and service.
Glover’s employees have been offered positions at Truck Centers of Arkansas. Glover’s location will stay open for transmission and rear-end repair.
“As a locally owned business, we understand and value the success of Glover’s Truck,” said Rick Vassar, vice president and owner of Truck Centers of Arkansas. “We are excited to welcome the Glover’s team of dedicated employees to the Truck Centers of Arkansas family. This investment also illustrates our confidence in the future of the Western Star franchise and the growth of the heavy duty truck industry.”
Truck Centers of Arkansas has locations in North Little Rock, Van Buren and Springdale. Each location offers Daimler Truck brands as well as service and repair services.
