First Anniversary of Toyota Peace Arch and Toyota Abbotsford
The new year will mark one year since
OpenRoad’s acquisition of two new
Toyota locations in South Surrey and
Abbotsford. The addition of OpenRoad
Toyota Abbotsford and OpenRoad
Toyota Peace Arch increases the
dealership group’s Toyota locations to a
total of four.
Renamed from Sunrise Toyota, which
was founded in 1968, Toyota Abbotsford
is located in the Fraser Valley Auto Mall.
The acquisition expands OpenRoad’s
locations into Abbotsford for the first
time. Toyota Peace Arch opened at 3174
King George Highway in South Surrey
in 1966, and serves the surrounding
White Rock and South Surrey
communities. Both new locations hold
strong reputations for being dedicated
community partners and award-winning
Toyota centres. Toyota Peace Arch
has earned the prestigious President’s
Program Award an impressive five times.
OpenRoad traces its history with Toyota
back to 1978, when it opened a modest
Toyota showroom on Granville Avenue in
Richmond. In 1985, the dealership moved
to its current location in the Richmond
Auto Mall and was named OpenRoad
Toyota Richmond. OpenRoad is
currently building Canada’s largest Toyota
dealership, which will be the new home
of OpenRoad Toyota Richmond located
right across the street from its current
location. The new mega facility will be five
times larger than the current dealership,
scheduled to open late 2019. At 205,000
square feet, the new OpenRoad Toyota
Richmond will incorporate many
environmental systems, as well as more
space to showcase and service the full
range of Toyota models. OpenRoad also
operates the OpenRoad Toyota dealership
in Port Moody, renamed from Barnet
Toyota in 2004, plus its founding Toyota
store, OpenRoad Toyota Richmond in the
Richmond Auto Mall.
