RICHMOND, Va. — Estes Express Lines has announced the opening of new terminals in the Minneapolis and Seattle areas.

The Mankato, Minn., terminal has become part of the company’s  service coverage in the Upper Midwest. It provides comprehensive direct service to all of south-central Minnesota and will help support the growing business levels of the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area. The terminal will be at 3495 Third Ave., Mankato, Minn., 56001. Terminal Manager Bob Abraham may be contacted at (507) 345-5418.

 “The Twin Cities area is a major economic center for the region,” said Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President Billy Hupp. “Business is booming there. The addition of the Mankato terminal will bring our service closer to the neighboring areas and help us provide even more in-depth coverage.”

For information regarding coverage areas or inbound/outbound service, contact Abraham.

The new terminal in Everett, Wash., will be located on 4119 Harbour Pointe Blvd. SW, Mukilteo, Wash., 98275. Terminal Manager Chris Pope may be reached at (425) 315-0400.

“With a major international port in a deep-water harbor and a growing population, Seattle is the economic center of the northwestern U.S. for both regional and international trade,” said Hupp. “As Seattle’s major metropolitan areas have grown in population and opportunity, the need for additional service in the surrounding areas has become evident. The Everett terminal brings our service closer to our customers north of Seattle and provides them with even more in-depth coverage all the way up to the Canadian border.”
