FleetPride has opened a new location in Columbus, Ohio as part of its efforts to expand its business in the center of the state.

This new location will mark the sixth new greenfield location that FleetPride has opened over the past 12 months. The other locations in Ohio are located in Cincinnati, Toledo, Valley View, and Youngstown.

This new location will expand its national footprint to more than 280 locations, according to the company.

"We have been serving national accounts customers in Columbus for many years from remote locations, and we're excited to officially become part of the local community," said Mike Harris, FleetPride senior vice president of sales and operations. "Our new team is set up for long-term success, and the facility has a deep inventory of parts for trucks and trailers. Customers in Columbus will have access to the industry's broadest product offering, which includes all major brands from our valued supplier partners as well as our exclusive OTR brand, to make sure we have what customers need to keep their trucks on the road."

The new branch is located at 2141 International Street near the junction of Interstates 70 and 270.
