Coast to Coast Carports, a Thriving Arkansas Business, Embarks on a Growth Journey with USDA-Backed Loan Facilitated by North Avenue Capital

KNOXVILLE, Ark. — Nestled 92 miles northwest of Little Rock, Arkansas, in the charming town of Knoxville, Coast to Coast Carports stands as a testament to the spirit of rural entrepreneurship and growth. With its picturesque setting along the Arkansas River, surrounded by the majestic Ozark Mountains, Knoxville provides the ideal backdrop for this impressive operation.

Coast to Coast Carports, a nationwide leader in crafting premium carports and steel buildings, serves an extensive range of industries, including sports, entertainment, food services, warehousing, manufacturing, retail, real estate, and food production and employs 124 dedicated women and men.

The story of Coast to Coast Carports takes an exciting turn against the backdrop of its rural location. This setting paved the way for the company to secure vital financing in the form of a government-guaranteed loan, skillfully structured and funded by the experts at North Avenue Capital (NAC) and supported by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

This significant $8 million loan will serve multiple purposes, including refinancing existing debt, establishing a payment reserve, and providing essential working capital, among other strategic initiatives. It underscores NAC’s and the USDA's shared commitment to fostering rural development and supporting businesses in America’s heartland.

Edgar Escobar, Vice President of North Avenue Capital, emphasized the broader implications of this partnership, stating, "Coast to Coast is a fitting example of the sweeping impact of the USDA's Business & Industry Loan Program – a national brand with a rural manufacturing center that enables competitive funding. We are delighted to serve Coast to Coast, the men and women that make up its workforce, and its current and future customers across the country."

As Coast to Coast Carports embarks on this exciting new chapter of growth, it does so with a deep appreciation for its rural roots and a vision for a future filled with continued success. With the support of the USDA-backed loan facilitated by North Avenue Capital, the company is poised to expand its footprint and make a lasting impact on industries nationwide.
