Zeigler Auto Group Acquires Four New Dealerships in First Wisconsin Purchase, Largest Overall to Date

Chicago, IL, August 03, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Zeigler Auto Group announces the purchase of four new dealerships from Home Run owners Jim Bozich and Mark Geiger. The official closing, which occurred last Monday, July 26, 2021, gives Zeigler its first acquisitions in the state of Wisconsin and its largest purchase overall to date. With the deal, Zeigler acquired Honda of Racine, Toyota of Racine, Kenosha Subaru, and Racine Hyundai—with all stores now under the Zeigler name.

“We are very proud to be expanding Zeigler into the great state of Wisconsin. We know that the community here will appreciate the way we do business, not just in how we go above and beyond for every single customer, but also in the way that we make it a priority to actively take part in the communities where we operate,” said Aaron Zeigler, president and owner of Zeigler Auto Group.

With this new purchase Zeigler adds two new franchises: Toyota and Hyundai to its growing brand portfolio, as well as a second Honda and Subaru location. It will also add a total of 14,000 vehicle sales a year to the organization with Zeigler pacing to retail over 67,000 vehicles collectively and over $2.2 billion in sales next year.

Now having purchased nine new stores in the last 16 months, Zeigler says his growth strategy has always been, and will always be customer-focused. “Besides the fact that these are top performing, high volume stores, we chose these stores because of their great potential. They will without a doubt offer all of our customers, both current and new, access to more choices with their locations being right off the highway.”

The dealer group previously acquired Mercedes-Benz and Sprinter of Hoffman Estates, INFINITI of Hoffman Estates, and Jaguar Land Rover of Schaumburg in January 2020; and Subaru of Merrillville in May of this year.

As of last Monday, the new Zeigler dealerships will be rebranded as follows:
● Zeigler Honda of Racine 1701 SE Frontage Rd, Mt. Pleasant, WI 53177
● Zeigler Toyota of Racine, 13350 Kilbourn Drive, Mt. Pleasant, WI 53177
● Zeigler Hyundai of Racine, 13313 Washington Ave, Mt. Pleasant, WI 53177
● Zeigler Subaru of Kenosha, 7900 120th Ave, Kenosha, WI 53142

The dealer group also plans to keep all staff on board at all of its new stores.
