Gabrielli Kenworth Celebrates Grand Opening of its New Jersey Dealership in Dayton
Gabrielli Kenworth of New Jersey recently celebrated its grand opening, which was attended by more than 400 people and featured a visit of the Kenworth T680 Road Tour starring the all-new T680, Kenworth's most aerodynamic truck ever.
The new South Brunswick-area dealership in Dayton, N.J., is the first Gabrielli Kenworth location in New Jersey. The dealership joins Gabrielli Kenworth's four other New York City-area Kenworth dealership locations in the Bronx, Hicksville, Medford and Queens, N.Y.
The grand opening featured a trade fair with 15 suppliers, a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by South Brunswick Mayor Frank Gambatese, and a catered lunch. Customers also got an opportunity to test drive several new Kenworth trucks.
Participants in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, from left, are Romolo Gabrielli, Amedeo Gabrielli, South Brunswick Mayor Frank Gambatese, South Brunswick Manager Bernard Hvozdovic Jr., Armando Gabrielli, and Armando Gabrielli Jr.
