Performance Brokerage Services Facilitates Significant Deal in Maryland's Equipment Sector
Performance Brokerage Services, renowned as North America's leading dealership brokerage firm, has successfully completed a noteworthy transaction involving All Roads Kubota in Bel Air, Maryland. This dealership, part of the extensive All Roads Company, is now under the ownership of Rippeon Equipment. The announcement made on September 16, 2026, highlights a pivotal transition in the local equipment and dealership landscape.
The All Roads group has a rich history dating back to 1917, when it initially began its journey as a Ford vehicle sales channel in Dundalk, Maryland. Over the past century, it has expanded its offerings to include various equipment, commercial trucks, parts, service operations, and automotive retailing. Their strong presence in the Mid-Atlantic region, combined with more than 45 locations and a robust customer base, has solidified All Roads as a major player in the industry. CEO Andy Franklin has led the company to acclaim, being named on the Inc. 500|5000 list of America’s Fastest Growing Private Companies and receiving the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2011.
Within just the last five years alone, Performance Brokerage Services has seen nearly 450 dealership transactions, affirming its position as the highest volume dealership brokerage firm in the continent. The successful conclusion of this particular sale was guided by Senior Partners Pat Albero and Dan Argiro, specialists in the Equipment and Commercial Truck Division at Performance Brokerage Services.
Pat Albero reflected on the significance of this sale: "Being part of a transaction in your own community is a rare opportunity. Having lived in the DMV area for many years, representing All Roads in this sale made it especially meaningful. The hard work and dedication of All Roads have established a loyal customer base, and it was a privilege to aid them in this transition."
It’s important to note that the buyer, Rippeon Equipment, is a well-regarded, family-owned equipment dealership that has been operating in Maryland for over 50 years. They boast multiple locations in areas such as Gaithersburg, Frederick, Westminster, Baltimore, and Bel Air, and have developed a solid reputation for offering top-notch service and expertise across a range of agricultural and construction equipment brands like Kubota, Land Pride, Stihl, Toro, and Honda. Their recognition as an Elite Kubota Dealer underscores their commitment to both customer service and high-quality products.
Upon acquisition, All Roads Kubota will be rebranded as Rippeon Equipment but will continue to operate from its established location. The All Roads Trucks division will remain active at the same address, ensuring continuity for both customers and employees.
The successful transition underscores the importance of trust and community in the dealership business. As the Rippeon family takes the reins, they aim to build upon the strong foundation that All Roads has established over the years, with a focus on customer satisfaction and community engagement.
Performance Brokerage Services is recognized not only for its impressive track record but also for its ethical approach—offering free value estimates without upfront fees, making them an attractive option for clients in the dealership space.

In conclusion, the sale of All Roads Kubota marks a significant development in Maryland's equipment sector, promising to enhance service delivery in the region as Rippeon Equipment steps forward to continue the legacy of excellence established by All Roads.
