After 95 years serving Waunakee and surrounding customers, Carl F. Statz & Sons announced plans to close on June 30, 2025. The announcement was covered by Christine Book in Rural Lifestyle Dealer on June 28.
The third-generation dealership had sold agricultural implements, lawn and garden equipment and recreational vehicles. The coverage described its historical connections with Polaris, New Holland and Case IH service work.
The transition involved equipment sales and plans for remaining inventory, alongside efforts to help employees move to other jobs. The dates and business relationships in this account refer to the original 2025 coverage, not a fresh assessment of the company today.
A subsequent reopening announcement
The newsroom later received an owner-supplied September 1, 2026 reopening date. That announcement describes a more diverse equipment selection, offers on new and used machines and a redesigned statzeq.com website. It is a subsequent update to the June 2025 events. Visit statzeq.com →
