3 Dealer Deal = Major Win for Power Equipment in Fort Wayne, IN

Nearly a year ago, Russo Power Equipment, a Midwest company with its roots in Illinois, embarked on an exciting journey by acquiring two legacy Indiana dealerships: C&C Distributors in Fort Wayne and South Bend. This was just the beginning of their expansion into the Indiana market, as they later acquired Mutton Power Equipment in Fort Wayne earlier this year. 

Today, Russo is announcing their newly established Fort Wayne location as they join both teams (C&C and Mutton) under the Russo Power Equipment name at the former Mutton facility on Illinois Rd.  

These two experienced dealerships have built a loyal and diverse customer base over many decades, and now, under the Russo brand, they will offer their customers an even more enriching experience, with an extensive range of top-quality products and services. 

True to their commitment, Russo will continue to live up to their tagline, "Powering Nature's Professionals Since 1970," by catering to the needs of professional landscapers, snow removal contractors, municipalities, arborists, landowners, property managers, and groundskeepers. With this merger, they are set to further enhance their dedication to serving these valued professionals in the Midwest and beyond. 

Russo is planning a fall grand opening celebration for their newest store. Stop by and see the new location at 5612 Illinois Rd., Fort Wayne, IN 46804. Monday through Friday 8am-5pm and Saturday 8am-Noon. 

While the C&C Fort Wayne location officially closed its doors on Friday, July 28, 2023, the C&C South Bend location will continue to operate as a "Powered by Russo" location, alongside the other 2022 acquisitions: Porter's Lawn & Power Equipment (Janesville, WI), and Haltom Equipment Co. (Mooresville, IN).
