Horizon opens first Maryland store

FREDERICK, Md. – In its hometown of Frederick, Md., Wright Manufacturing's commercial lawn mowers can now be purchased just five minutes from where they are manufactured. Horizon, a national landscape equipment dealer, has just opened a 10,000 square foot facility at 1569 Tilco Drive in Frederick.

Geoffrey Conway, Horizon's Mid-Atlantic zone manager, says the Frederick store is the first in Maryland, but more are planned. The new store will focus on serving commercial and residential landscape contractors, municipalities and grounds maintenance people. Wright Manufacturing, based in Frederick, has been Horizon's lead mower line in the Mid-Atlantic zone since the middle of last year. 

Visitors to Horizon's new showroom are immediately greeted by a large grouping of Wright mowers. Further into the facility, a giant Wright logo has been painted on the floor and a selection of popular Wright mowers forms the border around the circular logo.

“We are excited to have a local dealer of such caliber,” said Wright President Shawn Wolf. “We look forward to working with Geoff Conway and the entire Horizon team to continue expanding our relationship with the dealership across the country and help them grow in the burgeoning Frederick market.”

Conway says Horizon selected Frederick for its first Maryland store because it is centrally located, allowing the company to ship product to customers and other stores. He adds that the community is growing and Horizon wants to grow with it.
