The facility is situated on one of the busiest roads in Texas, drawing almost 300,000 passing cars daily.

“The opening of Monk JCB is an important part of JCB North America’s growth strategy which includes sponsoring dealerships in key market areas,” said Richard Fox-Marrs, president and CEO of JCB North America. “In addition to Monk JCB, we also have sponsored facilities in Dallas and southern California and will continue to add dealerships in other metro areas.”
