OpenRoad Expands into US
»
OpenRoad Auto Group is proud to announce its acquisition of a luxury retail centre that represents the iconic automotive brands Bentley, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The acquisition in Bellevue, a satellite city to Seattle, is OpenRoad’ s first in the US market, and follows the company’ s corporate strategy to expand relationships in key markets.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Vancouver operations debuted in 2010. In the seven years since then OpenRoad has developed a proven track record with this brand, firmly establishing Vancouver as the largest market for Rolls-Royce in Canada. The OpenRoad team will bring its brand knowledge and understanding to Bellevue as demand for Rolls-Royce expands across the Pacific Northwest.
“ This is an incredible opportunity to grow our luxury line up and expand our dealership group by entering into a new, world-class market that’ s only about a three-hour drive from Vancouver – or less if you’ re driving a Lamborghini!” says Christian Chia, president & CEO of OpenRoad Auto Group.“ Our goal is to create a seamless transition throughout this process and continue to offer the superluxury experience our clients have come to expect.”
The retail centre, located at 1882 136th Place NE, is 16 kilometres east of Seattle in a region where many of the world’ s leading companies have established their headquarters, among them Microsoft, Boeing, Starbucks, Nordstrom, Paccar, Costco and Amazon.
