J.D. Byrider recently expanded its buy-here, pay-here dealership footprint in Colorado by bringing a new franchisee in the process.

The newest J.D. Byrider dealership is in Denver. It's the second store in Colorado but the first one for franchisee Rick Steenbock.

“My team and I are very excited to expand the J.D. Byrider brand to Denver,” Steenbock said. “We’re dedicated to bringing quality cars with affordable financing and a high level of customer service to a great community.”

The showroom at 6401 N. Federal Blvd. consists of 7,500 square feet along with 10 service bays.

This location is the second J.D. Byrider dealership to open this year as the company rolled out a store in Fort Smith, Ark. The company now has 169 locations in 36 states.

“Rick is an exceptional operator and will serve our customers well with his expansion in Denver,” said Tom Welter, vice president of franchising for J.D. Byrider. “He understands the value of our business model and operational support, both of which are driving the unprecedented unit growth we are experiencing.”
