About the New Building
Birkey’s owners toured dealer facilities across the Midwest and worked with general contractor Drake Homes to incorporate the best features into the new Urbana store. The design focuses on safety, efficiency, and a comfortable experience for both customers and employees. The shop has a heated floor, energy--saving geothermal temperature control, and an overhead crane spanning the length of the building that will allow employees to easily move heavy items.
Birkey’s new location is convenient to customers and offers space to bring equipment in and out. Unlike the previous store, the new Birkey’s location will be incorporated into the city of Urbana. “We are part of the community now and will support it in many ways, including tax dollars,” says Jeff Hedge, Birkey’s Regional Manager.
