est Bend, WI – Arrow Power Center has been refreshed with new drywall, a clearer showroom layout, and a new owner committed to personal service and quality repairs. Josh Yanke and Lucas Serwe of Stellar Motors, already running a successful auto dealership, bought the shop and kept the Arrow name, citing its recognition and the logo’s grass‑and‑snowflake imagery. The store remains an authorized Ariens and Gravely dealer, now stocking string trimmers, blowers, and other handheld gear, with dozens of mowers and zero‑turns on hand.
Although known for automotive sales, the move into small‑engine repair and equipment retail felt natural. They also retained long‑time employee CJ Garbisch, who had worked part‑time at Arrow for a decade under former owner Gene Sommers. “When I saw the business for sale, I asked CJ about it,” Serwe recalled. “He declined, which opened the door for us to step in.”
The trio now focuses on customer service and faster repair turnaround. “Lead times are a challenge,” Garbisch notes. “Parts aren’t as simple as car parts, but we’re working to get equipment back to owners more quickly.”
Arrow Power Center has launched a new website, a first for the business. The owners see ample opportunity to serve West Bend’s residents, offering honest, fair service for all outdoor‑home needs. “We’re excited to grow and help people maintain their yards and homes,” Yanke says.
