I drove past a large Hyundai/Genesis dealer yesterday and noticed the former used car building was replaced with a contemporary building in black and with GENESIS across the top. Also a GENESIS sign in vertical format in front. I pulled in to have a better look. Dealers are closed here on Sundays. The main original building has the service roll up door labeled GENESIS service. There were used Hyundai vehicles mixed with many Genesis on the pavement all around the business. I saw no new Hyundai cars and a check of the internet provided no new information about where the Hyundai dealer was/would be. The interior of the Genesis building is nearly complete. It is days, or at most a week or two from completion.
Keffer is the dealer name, one of several Hyundai dealers in the area and the largest Genesis dealer. Service person there told me a few years ago that this change was planned and it required some approval/negotiation with municipal and state authorities for setback, right of way, access and/or other issues to be resolved which they apparently are. Infiniti is across the street, for comparison.
edit: when it was a combined store the lot size was clearly insufficient to handle all the inventory and traffic for even just the Hyundai, not to mention the used cars and Genesis. This is long overdue for the brand and also the Hyundai dealer, assuming he has/will soon move to a larger, more accessible location.
