WINTER PARK, Fla., April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Everglades Equipment Group, a leading John Deere dealer in Florida, today announced the acquisition of a new dealership in Winter Park, Florida. Formerly a Sunbelt Lawn and Tractor, this addition marks Everglades Equipment Group's 19th dealership and further solidifies its commitment to serving customers across South and Central Florida.
Located at 4031 Forsyth Rd, Winter Park, FL 32792, the new dealership will continue to offer a full range of John Deere equipment, parts, and service to meet the needs of commercial, construction, governmental, and residential customers in the Sanford, Oviedo, and Winter Park areas.
