Today we’d like to introduce you to Charley Holden.
Charley, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I started Cap World in October of 1985, with one location and only one employee, on Route 1N in Saugus, MA- selling only truck caps. 32 years later we now have 12 store locations in 4 states (MA, MD, NH and FL), and have 62 employees, many of which have been with me for more than 25 years! As our slogan states, we now sell “Everything but the Truck!” Which means you can come into any Cap World location, and be assured that you are speaking to an expert, and will leave with any of our hundreds of top quality truck accessories to outfit your vehicle- installed and ready for work or recreational use!
In 1995 we expanded the business into the trailer market, starting with only 10 Utility Trailers (open). Today we are a leading provider in trailers, sales, service, and repairs. Stocking well over 100 Cargo, Utility and Dump Trailers!
We continue to add products, diversifying Cap World from just truck caps. In 2012, we added snowplows to our inventory at our MD and New England locations. Helping our customers make it thru the tough winters.
I am proud of what my team has accomplished and how our Company has grown over the past 32 years! I am excited to what the future holds for Cap World!
Has it been a smooth road?
The late 1980’s were tough. We had only two employees because of the recession, but we worked hard and continued to prosper. Again from 2008-2011 were tough years because of the economy and truck sales were down, which is what drives our business. Our employee dedication to me and our customers allowed us to survive during those tough times.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
Cap World has been customizing trucks, vans and SUVs for commercial and recreational use. We are dedicated to bringing our customers quality, name-brand products at discount prices. We are a full-service company, which means all of our stores provide sales, customer service and expert installation.
Our mission is to lead the truck accessory industry with state of the art products and a deep commitment to our employees, customers and the communities in which we do business
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
The people and the communities support local businesses like Cap World, but the costs of doing business in the state of MA can be challenging, especially for a small business like Cap World.
