The new dealership is located off Interstate 35 in Albert Lea. Rihm Kenworth is part of Rihm Family Companies. Albert Lea’s new dealership offers the entire array of Rihm Family Companies’ services, which includes truck sales, truck parts sales, truck repairs, and truck equipment leasing and rental.
“Relocating to this location after 14 years meets our need for more warehouse and shop capacity, efficiency, visibility, and improved employee accommodations,” said Kari Rihm, Rihm CEO and President. “We had outgrown our original space and view this move as a terrific opportunity to meet truckers’ needs on the I-35 corridor near two major truck stops.”
Before this move, Rihm had operated its Albert Lea business off Interstate 90 since 2006. Albert Lea is the crossroad of I-35 and I-90.
The Albert Lea dealership marks the fifth new facility that Rihm Kenworth opened since 2017. Early 2018, two new facilities in the Twin Cities opened for business, including Rihm Kenworth’s new headquarters in South St. Paul. Just prior to that, Rihm had announced its new dealership in Winona. Then its new Mankato dealership extended Rihm’s network even further late in 2019.

Both new, used, and lease/rental offices are on-site for truck customer’s convenience.
