Powerhouse Outdoor Equipment locations at 1229 Russell Parkway in Valdosta, Georgia and 2122 Bemiss Road in Warner Robins, Georgia, will now sell and service Takeuchi equipment.
“We’ve been in business for 30 years, and we feel we have great market penetration, all the way from Macon to the Florida line,” sa sRyay Hedgecock, president of Powerhouse Equipment. “We’re in the process of expanding each of our locations, and we believe that taking on the Takeuchi product line will help us continue to grow our brand.”
Powerhouse Outdoor Equipment is a family-owned business launched by Ray and Russ Hedgecock in May 1993. Since then, the Hedgecocks have brought a long-time employee, Raymond Mullins, on as an additional co-owner. Today, Powerhouse Equipment has a total of four locations that were originally lawn and garden retail stores that have expanded to offer tractors, construction equipment and rentals. Over the past three decades, the business has grown to employ 57 employees, several of whom are third-generation workers.
“Powerhouse has always taken pride in creating long-term relationships with their customers, which include landscaping and construction contractors,” says Eric Wenzel, Southeast regional business manager for Takeuchi-US. “Their staff provides excellent service during and after the sale, and that’s helped Powerhouse develop a very positive reputation throughout the region. We’re very pleased to have them join the Takeuchi dealer family.”
