Hunter Auto Group Announces Sale of Chevrolet Franchise.
July 9, 2010
Tom Hunter, President of the Hunter Automotive Group, announced today that the Chevrolet franchise that his company owns and operates has been sold. The new owners will be the Boyd Automotive Group also based in Hendersonville, N.C. "Our two families have been friends for many years and I am thrilled to see our close friends move forward with the Chevrolet brand in HendersonCounty" said Hunter.
The move comes as part of recent restructuring at General Motors who filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009. "Sales at our three dealerships have dramatically increased in the last 18 months and this will free up capital to grow our business even more."
The Hunter family has owned the Chevrolet franchise in Hendersonville dating back to 1940. The corporation also owns and operates Subaru, Hyundai, Nissan, Lincoln, and Volvo new car franchises as well as a their newest dealership called The Hunter Import Outlet that specializes in selling late model imports for less than $15,000.00. Tom Hunter has served as the company's President since 2006 while his cousin, Randy Hunter, serves as Chairman of the Board and Vice President of Variable Operations.
