CHICAGO, IL, Aug. 9, 2018 /CNW/ - The Boyd Group Inc. (the "Boyd Group") today announced the August 3, 2018 acquisition of a collision repair center in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

This new center is situated four miles from Interstate 94, the well-traveled highway that connects Wisconsin to Northern Illinois.

"We are pleased to establish a presence in Wisconsin with the acquisition of a center that has been serving its community for 73 years," said Tim O'Day, President and COO of the Boyd Group.
