Bobcat of Waco, the authorized dealer for Bobcat equipment in the Waco market, has opened a new stand-alone facility located north of Waco at 16629 Interstate 35 at the Tours Road exit near Ross, Texas. The expansion strengthens Bobcat of Waco’s ability to serve customers across central Texas while supporting continued growth in the region.

The Waco Chamber of Commerce officiated the grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony. Whit Perryman, CEO of Compact Construction Equipment LLC (CCE), thanked the chamber and attendees for their support and shared the history and growth of the dealership. Perryman, along with Branch Manager John Bovee, cut the ceremonial ribbon alongside employees and guests.

Bobcat of Waco provides sales, rentals, parts, and service support for customers in construction, agriculture, landscaping, and utility installation. According to Bovee, the most active markets in central Texas include construction and concrete placement, as well as residential and commercial landscaping and tree removal.

Bobcat of Waco provides the full line of Bobcat compact equipment such as skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, mini excavators, and utility vehicles, along with comprehensive parts, rentals, and service support. The dealership is part of the BobcatCCE organization, one of the Bobcat dealer groups in Texas, with 18 locations statewide.

Recently introduced models — unveiled at CONEXPO-CON/AGG in March — are designed to improve operator comfort and job site efficiency. Bovee expects the Waco location to have a good selection of these “new evolution” models by summer.
