EquipmentShare to Open New Location in Nacogdoches Soon

New businesses in Nacogdoches are always a welcome sight. Actually, it's not even limited to Nacogdoches - new businesses in Deep East Texas are always a welcome sight.

According to EquipmentShare.com, they have 385 locations across 45 states - 60 of the locations are here in Texas. With the addition of the Nacogdoches location at 4750 US-59, it looks like that number will now - officially - be 61.
