A California company with bus and motorhome dealerships nationwide plans to close its Washington County facility and relocate to the former 84 Lumber property on William Penn Highway in Murrysville, Pa.

Jennifer Nichols, facilities director for Creative Bus Sales in Chino, Calif., on Wednesday confirmed that the company had purchased the 2.5-acre property off Route 22 for $1.65 million through its limited-liability corporation, PA Bus Properties.
“We’ll be closing Canonsburg and operating a bus and eventually RV dealership out of the Murrysville property,” Nichols said.
The company has branches in California, Oregon, Florida, Colorado, Texas, Georgia, Indiana and Arizona.
“We sell buses to municipalities, resorts, private facilities like nursing homes, those types of businesses,” Nichols said. “We don’t usually sell to the general public, but some of our sites have recently branched off into selling towable RVs, like six-wheeled trailers.”
Some construction and renovation will take place, “and we expect to be operating by January or February 2019,” Nichols said.
