Cable Dahmer recently celebrated the grand opening of its new Commercial Service Center in Kansas City, MO. On June 24, 2026, the South Kansas City Chamber of Commerce joined our team for a ribbon cutting at the southwest corner of 135th Street and Holmes Road, in the heart of the Martin City neighborhood. more The celebration brought together technicians, neighbors, and local business owners. To everyone who came out to support us, thank you. This is a moment we have looked forward to for a long time, and it means even more with the community standing alongside us. Visit Cable Dahmer Fleet & Commercial Service Center A New Home in Martin City The southwest corner of 135th Street and Holmes Road sat vacant for years. Today it is alive again, revitalized as a working home for fleet and commercial service in Kansas City. Choosing Martin City was intentional. It is a growing part of South Kansas City with a strong sense of community, and it puts our team closer to the businesses we serve every day. CEO Carlos Ledezma cut the ribbon to mark the occasion, and he shared why this location fits where the company is headed. Cable Dahmer CEO Carlos Ledezma cut the ribbon kicking off a new era on the southwest corner of 135th Street and Holmes Road. “We outgrew our last building, so this is really ideal for the kind of growth we're experiencing. And the location here in Martin City's thriving neighborhood is exactly what we want.” Built to Handle Vehicles at Scale The Commercial Service Center is designed to service large groups of vehicles in one place. That includes work vans and trucks, used cars, and brand new models. Vehicles are inspected, repaired or reconditioned, and outfitted with accessories, then sold or returned to the businesses that depend on them. Cable Dahmer Fleet & Commercial Service Center interior service area Everything about the space was planned for high vehicle volume, from the equipment on the floor to the way work flows through the building. It is a setup built for the realities of keeping commercial fleets on the road. Ready to Serve Kansas City Businesses The new facility strengthens how we deliver fleet and commercial service across Kansas City. Commercial Fleet Service Director Kyle Kitzsteiner explained who relies on the team and why the location works so well. “We have dozens of fleet accounts, mostly major national accounts. We also do a lot for local HVAC businesses and other contractors. 135th and Holmes Road is very convenient for them.” That mix of national accounts and local contractors is exactly the kind of work this location was built for. Whether a business runs a handful of service vehicles or a large fleet, the goal is the same. Keep vehicles maintained, keep downtime low, and keep the business moving. Commercial Fleet Service Director Kyle Kitzsteiner More Than a Building, It Is About People For Carlos Ledezma, the grand opening is about far more than square footage and vehicle bays. It is about the people who will build their careers here. “At its heart though, this is all about developing people. We want to give young technicians long-term career paths. We know that facilitating rewarding careers is good for our company. So, this location puts us in a stronger position to do that. We want to help them learn and grow. And we really enjoy watching it happen.” A Thank You to Our Martin City Neighbors A grand opening is only as good as the people who show up, and our neighbors made this one special. We were grateful to be welcomed by fellow Martin City businesses, including Jess & Jim's Steakhouse, Pegah's Cafe, Secure Passage, and Martin City Telegraph. Moments like that remind us why we chose this neighborhood. We are proud to be part of a community that shows up for one another. Looking Ahead With the ribbon cut and the doors open, we are excited about what comes next. The Cable Dahmer Commercial Fleet and Service Center is ready to serve the Kansas City community and the local businesses that keep it running. We look forward to building lasting relationships here in Martin City for years to come. To everyone who celebrated this milestone with us, thank you again.

Cable Dahmer Named Inaugural Member of Harvesters' Million Meals Club At Cable Dahmer, giving back to the community has always been at the heart of who we are. We're incredibly honored to be recognized as an inaugural member of the Million Meals Club by Harvesters Community Food Network. This recognition reflects years of effort, partnership, and generosity from our leadership team, employees, and customers who share our commitment to fighting food insecurity in Kansas City. In 2019, our CEO, Carlos Ledezma, made the generous decision to help provide 100,000 meals to families in Kansas City. Shortly after, Cable Dahmer's Chief Marketing Officer, Jeff Vaughn, challenged our team to set a new goal: one million meals. That moment became the foundation of our Million Meals Mission, an ongoing effort to support local Kansas City families in need. Thanks to the vision of Carlos and Jeff, and the continued support of our team at Cable Dahmer, what began as a single generous act has grown into something beyond what we could have ever imagined. Today, we're proud to share that Cable Dahmer has helped provide more than 17 million meals to families across Kansas City and we're not stopping anytime soon. This milestone represents real families supported, real children fed, and real hope right here at home. For over half a century, the Kansas City community has trusted and supported Cable Dahmer, and we believe in giving back with that same level of care, commitment, and generosity. We're grateful to work alongside Harvesters Community Food Network, whose impact reaches thousands every day. Being recognized as a member of the Million Meals Club is a tremendous honor, and motivates us to continue pushing forward. Thank you to everyone who has contributed, volunteered, donated, or helped spread the word. Together, we are helping Kansas City, one meal at a time.
