For inquiring minds that want to know, here’s the exciting new chapter for our HOG chapter!
We are thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter for Farrow Harley-Davidson!
Today our new owners, the Schipper Family, become part of storied history of America’s Oldest Harley Dealership. The Schippers are no strangers to the motorcycle industry or Harley-Davidson, as owners and operators of five other Harley-Davidson dealerships and a powersports dealership in the region, they bring with them decades of experience and a lifelong enthusiasm for motorcycles and riders.
“Since 1912, Farrow Harley-Davidson has been at the center of Harley-Davidson’s heritage. It is an honor to be trusted with that enduring legacy. We are excited to be growing our Harley-Davidson family and are eager to serve the riding community throughout Central Ohio. Riders are truly at the heart of everything we do, because we are riders! We will work to earn your business by providing the best possible experience every time you come through the doors. We look forward to serving you at Farrow Harley-Davidson.” – Evan Schipper
Farrow Harley-Davidson operations have been consolidated to the Farrow East location at 5840 Scarborough Blvd, Columbus, Ohio. We will be closed today (Tuesday, February 24th), as we make the transition to our new ownership.
Ricart is returning to its core focus of automotive sales and service and continues to evaluate opportunities to expand its automotive operations throughout Central Ohio. Ricart is proud to transition ownership of America’s Oldest Harley-Davidson dealership to an accomplished operator with a proven track record.
The Schipper family owns and operates Bluegrass Harley-Davidson, Evansville Harley-Davidson, Harley Davidson of Fort Wayne, St. Louis Harley-Davidson, and Toledo Harley-Davidson, as well as Summit Moto Fort Wayne. With their roots in Indiana agriculture, the Schipper family is grateful to be living the American dream, understanding the importance of hard work, integrity, and family in making that dream a reality. As they moved from running their hog farm to a different kind of “hog” business, they infused those values into their dealerships. As an organization guided by these values, we strive to fulfill dreams of personal expression and freedom through a commitment to superior customer experience and unmatched enthusiasm for our riders. We work to ensure integrity, knowledge, and teamwork are at the core of what we do each day.
We look forward to being your Harley-Davidson dealer of choice!
