Sloan's Motorcycle & ATV
Location: Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Project Scope: Major interior renovations
Located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Sloan’s Motorcycle & ATV has experienced significant growth over the past few years. When they acquired the Harley-Davidson store next to their original location, as well as the retail space beyond, the Dow Smith team was tasked with turning three buildings into one. Additional warehouse space was also constructed to accommodate their growing inventory.
Project challenges included maintaining a safe and clean job site while Sloan’s remained open for business. We worked closely and extensively with the City of Murfreesboro Planning and Building Code departments to facilitate the issuance of the building permit. The new addition also required a unique design to the structural system to accommodate gutters that could handle rain runoff from two buildings.
When it comes to establishing or expanding a commercial operation, one of the most critical decisions business owners and executives face is whether to lease a commercial space or build a ground-up facility. Both options have their merits, and the choice ultimately depends on your business goals, financial situation, and long-term vision. As a design-build firm, we understand the complexities of this decision and aim to provide clarity on the benefits and advantages of each option.
