Theriault Equipment has built a reputation on offering customers quality merchandise at prices they can afford, carrying a full line of John Deere equipment, accessories, clothing and even toys.
“Providing quality products and services at an affordable price” is the company’s secret to its success, said Lionel Theriault, owner. “We believe in continually finding ways to offer our customers more value, whether it be in agriculture, consumer products, commercial worksite products, parts or service.”
That service is offered by well-trained technicians.
“Our staff is well trained. All of our technicians have to be certified,” he said.
In a county where much of the work involves farming and tractors and related equipment is common in many a dooryard, John Deere green can be seen sprouting up all over – thanks to Theriault’s history of dependability. When you buy from Theriault’s, you’re not only getting a great product but a team that stands behind what they sell.
“We carry everything you need, whether you’re a farmer or weekend gardener. We carry John Deere agricultural and turf products; service and sell commercial sprayers. We carry John Deere-licensed products including clothing, hats, tools and tool boxes, safes,” said Theriault.
The company also carries John Deere commercial worksite products, such as skid steers, mini loaders, excavators, as well as Stihl hand-held products.
“We also carry T-L irrigation center pivots,” said Theriault.
Founded in Caribou in 1958, Theriault’s now has one of the largest John Deere showrooms in the U.S., located at 120 Caribou Rd., Presque Isle. The company’s newest location is 106 North St. Suite 2, Houlton. In addition to serving county needs, Theriault’s also holds the sprayer contract for farmers from here to New York.
“Our Presque Isle location offers more products and services, an area to demonstrate our products and room for displays,” he said.
Theriault said customer service is “very important.”
“Our departments are working together to give the highest level of satisfaction,” said Theriault. “It’s about offering the John Deere experience.”
The Presque Isle store has one part- and 19 full-time employees; the Houlton facility has one full- and one part-time on staff. Business hours are Monday-Friday, 7 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday, 7 a.m.-4 p.m. For more information, visit www.theriaultequip.com.
