Mount Comfort RV in Mt. Comfort, Ind., recently opened its new 37,000-square-foot indoor sales and service center.
This story by Mitchell Kirk originally appeared in the Greenfield Daily Reporter.
The contemporary lodge-style structure features an indoor showroom that accommodates up to 20 RVs, 20 sales offices, a parts store, administrative offices, training and meeting rooms, a customer lounge and children’s playroom.
The dealership is located at 5935 W. County Road 225N.
Outside, more than 400 new and pre-owned RVs continue to spread out across 17 acres near the Interstate-70/Mt. Comfort Road interchange.
Ken Eckstein said that while the business committed to a new building at a time when many are going the dot-com route, he respects those who prefer that way of doing business.
Efficiencies for the staff resulted from the project as well. The business was able to create a service department much closer to its parts department and lay out everything as desired, as opposed to adapting to the former truck stop structure. He added that the company plans to raze the former truck stop building and replace it with a parking lot.
Mount Comfort RV employs about 65 and projects about a 50 percent workforce increase in 2020.
The project got started in fall 2018 and represents about a $5 million investment.
