Freedom Racing Tool and Auto is an industry leading business that sells new and pre-owned automotive specialty tools. To the City of Lamoni, however, it is more than just a successful business, it is an establishment of Pride and Progress.
In 2015, Freedom Racing outgrew its downtown location and expanded to a modern 9,000 sq. ft. facility in the Lamoni Industrial Park. The City’s join efforts (LDC, IADG, INS, GRM Networks, CIPCO, and DCDC) made this expansion possible as Freedom Racing is not only one of the most successful businesses in Lamoni, it also helps lead the charge in inspiring the community to grow the local economy.
With this new facility, Freedom Racing was able to increase its employee numbers from 12 to 22. With the expectation to grow to approximately 30 employees in the next few years, DCDC and LDC assisted in securing financing to again expand Freedom Racing’s building with assistance from CIPCO. The 3,800 sq. ft. expansion allows the business to improve and enlarge the packing area and separate shipping and receiving in order to increase efficiencies and flow. This expansion makes room for more employees to work on processing and shipping orders and accommodates a larger work area for receiving and processing inventory.
