Santa to Celebrate American Pride’s New Warehouse

ZANESVILLE, OH – A local business will be having a special visitor stop by from the North Pole.

Santa will be making 3 stops at American Pride Power Equipment this week.

Families will be able to stop and take pictures with Santa as well as to check out the new warehouse from 5 to 7 PM on Thursday and Friday and from 8 to Noon on Saturday.

Ryan Dodson, the President of American Pride, said they have been waiting for this building to be complete for 3 years.

“This building essentially is storage for lawnmowers,” Dodson said. “This was our last chance to build on this property as well because we only have 3 and a half acres. We decided to build north and made the most use of the space by building a parking garage for lawnmowers.”

Dodson said the new building allows them to purchase in larger volumes to make products affordable for their customers.

“We’re just super excited that it’s finally done,” Dodson said. “We get to realize the use we will get out of it. We were renting off-site warehouse space, which was very inefficient and expensive.”

With this expansion, Dodoson said they will be able to have more product and services units on-site.

American Pride Power Equipment is located at 700 McIntire Ave. in Zanesville.
