BEDFORD, TEXAS — Adam Smith’s Texas Harley-Davidson has opened a new dealership in Bedford. In March 2015, design/build contractor Bob Moore Construction broke ground on the new home for Texas Harley-Davidson, intended to consolidate the company’s operations into one facility and give it room to expand in the future. The new dealership features 71,000 square feet of retail, office and service department space. A large metal awning with black trim spans the front and side of the building, with metal panels and sections of glass curtain wall showcase the motorcycles within. The building is fronted with 100,000 square feet of customer parking and paved motorcycle display space. Behind the building is a driver’s training space to support the safety classes provided by Texas Harley-Davidson. The interior retail space was designed to provide a dynamic blend of old style warehouse and industrial styles. Stained finish concrete accented with wood taken from old wine and whiskey barrels accent the showroom. The walls feature Harley-Davidson artwork along with sections of old brick.
