Total Truck Parts celebrated the opening of its newest location in Port St. Lucie, Fla., with an open house on July 19. The event was the first open house the company ever had, and it exceeded all expectations.
“Even in Florida’s summer heat, and during a severe summer storm, we were supported by 36 of our top suppliers and many customers,” says Leo Cordeiro, CEO.
In total, there were more than 250 customers, suppliers and special guests who attended the event. Attendees visited with key suppliers, learned about the products and services the company offers and had the chance to see the vast new shop facilities. Everyone also enjoyed a great lunch sponsored by the many suppliers. Total Truck Parts adds it also was excited to welcome city leaders in the community who thanked the company for investing in the city with this new facility.
“The Port St. Lucie location is our largest facility. It represents the most significant investment our company has ever made” says Marc Karon, president.
The city of Port St. Lucie is one of the most significant growth markets in Florida and the new facility prepares Total Truck Parts to address that growth. The building is also specially built with the highest wind strength so it is prepared to serve our customers in any hurricane.

Total Truck Parts adds it is especially grateful to its supplier partners who donated to help cover expenses. The company says it had such a good response that it will be making significant donations to the St. Jude Children’s research hospital and Tunnel to Towers. It also plans to have more open houses in the future after the success of this event.
