BIDWELL — After serving customers in the region for more than 26 years, Baxter’s Harley Davidson is now celebrating its move into a new home for the business.

On Saturday, May 11, Baxter’s Harley Davidson will hold the Grand Opening celebration for its new home, located at 1699 Kerr Road in Bidwell. The celebration will be held during the regular business hours of 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on that day, and food will be served beginning at 11:30 a.m.

Regular business hours during the week are 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

The new location is much bigger than Baxter’s Harley Davidson’s previous building, and it will allow the business to expand some if its services while also providing a more comfortable setting for its customers.

“We have a bigger service area,” Kathy Baxter explained. The new service area will give the employees more room to work on bikes and it also has more equipment for the different projects.

Repair work is a key part of the business, as customers come from all across Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia, and some from as a far away as Michigan to have their bikes serviced at Baxter’s Harley Davidson.

Owner Ben Baxter and the other employees do excellent work on the bikes, and they also are accessible to the customers, Kathy Baxter said.

The new location also has more space for customers to look over different products, and it is allowing the business to stock more products.

“We have a customer lounge now,” Kathy Baxter said, adding that people who are getting their oil changed in their bikes will enjoy relaxing in the lounge and watching television.

Baxter’s Harley Davidson is grateful for all of the customer support it has received over the years, and it is hoping people from all across the region will stop in during the Grand Opening celebration to see the new facility.

“We really appreciate our customers and would really like them to come out and help us celebrate,” Kathy Baxter said.

For more information on the Grand Opening or on Baxter’s Harley Davidson, call 446-6336.
