New Ft Meyers Genesis broke ground

Sutherlin Automotive Group of Buford, Ga., said it completed a rare transaction of a standalone Genesis dealership when it purchased Genesis of Fort Myers in Florida from Morgan Automotive Group on June 1, according to Sutherlin CEO Brett Sutherlin.

Morgan Automotive had Genesis paired with Hyundai in a Fort Myers dealership, according to Sutherlin.

“We feel super strongly about the brand, and that’s why we elected to buy it,” Sutherlin told Automotive News.

Sutherlin said after purchasing the Genesis dealership, which it renamed Fort Myers Genesis, the group moved it to a temporary spot about three miles away. The company broke ground on a new $15 million facility the week of July 4. The new building, located behind the temporary facility, will be next to Sutherlin’s Nissan dealership in Fort Myers, marking its second dealership in the city.

Thanks for the info. That is probably the closest to me. I looked at the Genesis/Hyundai dealer in fort Myers when I was looking, but they did not have a car for me to even test drive. I was able to get a car at the Naples Genesis/Hyundai dealer which is about 30 minutes or so further from me. I thought the Naples one would start their own separate dealership at they are the number one dealer in the world. But I guess not.
Thanks again.
