A new business in Evans gives customers the opportunity to build a custom golf cart or give their old cart a makeover.
Kart King, 4158 Washington Road, Suite 11, celebrated its grand opening yesterday. Until now, the company has provided retail sales and service at 1697 Broad St. in Augusta’s King Mill Park, but the retail side of the business has moved to the Evans store, according to Chandler Hall, Kart King’s head of operations and owner, Barry Hall’s brother.
“We’ve decided to use the other location as our shop,” Hall said. “The biggest thing is visibility; we didn’t get much traffic.”
He thinks the new store will receive much more walk-in traffic. Hall said as of late afternoon yesterday, eight or nine customers had visited Kart King, and they had already made four sales.
Besides golf cart sales, the business also offers service, rentals, and accessory installations, such as lift kits, audio systems, and lights. But Hall said Kart King’s specialty is building custom carts.
“This came about based on feedback from our customers,” he said. “It was kind of a customer demand thing.”
The store is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit Kart King’s Facebook page.
