Tesla Planning Grand Opening Of 1st Bucks Co. Store

WARMINSTER, PA —Tesla has kept quiet about the opening of its first store in Bucks County.

Until next week.

A member of the Delaware Valley Tesla Owners Club, said that Tesla Warminster will hold its official grand opening in a ceremony from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 30.

The ceremony will be held at Tesla Warminster on 700 York Rd.

The ceremony will include a short presentation from a local official and a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The official has not been named yet.

Demo drives will be available, along with a DIY maintenance session and a Cybertruck, he said. Light refreshments will also be provided.

Tesla opened in February at the old Pathmark property after a year of construction.

The business is the largest Tesla in Pennsylvania. Tesla has stores in King of Prussia, Devon, and Lawrence, N.J.

The project's cost is estimated between $6-8 million.

The 56,000-square-foot building sits on nine acres across the street from Archbishop Wood High School and near Street Road. It had been considered by Lidl for another grocery store.
Its operating hours would be 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and closed Sunday.

Tesla, the car company led by CEO Elon Musk, models itself on clean energy and designs and manufactures electric vehicles, battery energy storage from home to grid-scale, solar panels, and solar roof tiles.

The Tesla was expected to add 30-40 local jobs.

There is a service area with space for two rows of parking, an alignment center, a storage area for tires, windshield wipers, fluids, and other auto supplies.

The front features a waiting area and showroom featuring two Tesla vehicles people can examine, a car wash area, and two loading areas for deliveries.

Service and repairs would happen in the building by appointment only. The repair area would have 18 lifts. Vehicles would be purchased online with appointments made for pickup.

Meanwhile, the property is up for sale.

The property was put on the market last month, according to the real estate broker LoopNet. It is listed for $18.9 million.

Investment highlights include a brand-new, 12-year lease, options to extend, new construction, annual 2 percent rental increases, and an established and well-known tenant, the listing said.
