Durant Cycle in 1981. When we purchased this property it was a two bay service station. We added 4,000 sq feet for the parts department and the show room. The service department worked from the existing service bays and the service manager pumped gas in his spare time. In 1990 we removed the gas pumps and added an additional 4,000 sq foot showroom.
