GreenGo Buggies seeking to purchase land for expansion

by CHRIS BURRITT

SUMMERFIELD – GreenGo Buggies is planning for its second move in less than two years due to rising demand for the low-speed battery-powered vehicles it builds in Summerfield.

Referred to as “street-legal golf carts,” the vehicles they build can lawfully travel on public roads with speed limits posted at 35 mph or less.

“We’re out of room and looking to expand,” said Nikki Price, who owns GreenGo Buggies with her husband, Brian. Since the spring of 2021, the business has occupied the former Purgason’s Western Wear store on Auburn Road at U.S. 220.

For their next move, the Prices are seeking the rezoning of nearly 6.1 acres at 7620 Deboe Road from single-family residential (RS-30) to conditional zoning business district (CZ-BN). If Summerfield’s Town Council approves the rezoning request, Nikki said she and her husband plan to buy the property, located off N.C. 150, and construct a building for GreenGo Buggies.

“We want to build to meet our needs,” said Nikki, explaining that the couple has rented space in their previous two locations.
