CHICAGO, IL, Feb. 20, 2013 /CNW/ - The Boyd Group Inc. (the "Boyd Group") today announced the opening of a new repair center in Washington and one in Florida. The Boyd Group now operates 181 locations in the U.S.

The first center, located in Stanwood, Washington, is approximately 4,500 square feet in size and previously operated as Twin City Collision. It now operates under the Gerber Collision & Glass trade name. With this addition, the Boyd Group owns and operates 14 repair centers in Washington.

The second center in St. Cloud, Florida is approximately 26,000 square feet in size. It was part of the 11 centers acquired with The Recovery Room acquisition in November 2012, but was closed for approximately a year prior to the acquisition.
