A Brief History

Since 1940, this property has connected people from all over northwestern Colorado and Wyoming. Initally a truck shop, its use progressed to that of a yard for pipe goods which were conveniently delivered via the Union Pacific Railroad.  In 1998, the property transitioned into an implement dealership selling tractors and parts for agriculture. In 2004, the owners opened a welding & design business performing architectural iron fabrication and powder coating.
