We
haven't moved, but our address
has changed. The President
George Bush Turnpike (PGBT) Eastern
Extension, which extends to I-30
in Garland, opened in December
2011! With the opening,
we are now located
on the northbound frontage road
of the tollway and
our physical address has changed
from 5518 Liberty Grove to 5518
President George Bush Highway.
It will take some time for all
the maps to catch up, but just
remember when traveling on the
PGBT, you’ll take the Lakeview
Parkway (SH 66)/ Main Street exit
to get to Covington’s. Our
mailing address will continue to
be P.O. Box 1165, Rowlett TX 75030.
Come and see us!
Plant Redbuds now to enjoy dazzling
blooms
& beautiful
