Well, we made the cut. What cut? Chrysler's cut.
Chrysler closed 789 dealerships today. We weren't one of them though one of our sister stores is and two stores in our area.
I have bittersweet feelings on this. I'm happy that I'll continue to have a job. I'm happy that I'll actually have more to do as this will increase our wholesale calls by a lot! (I hope.)
However, lots of people are going to be out of jobs. There will be large swatches of realestate that USED to be car dealerships up for sale. And, well, mass closings are never a happy thing even if they are necessary.
So, my prayers are will those that are facing job losses during this tough time. And I thank the lord that I still have a job and will hopefully get to use my talents a bit more.

I am so relieved and excited for you, the future, and us!
*phew* Congrats on surviving! I'm so relieved.
A closed dealership in our area got turned into a the fanciest collision repair shop I've ever seen. Have you ever seen a collision repair shop with a big glass enclosed showroom? Come to Beaverton, OR!
Sadly the all electric vehicle store in NE Portland closed recently as well. Not even the state with the most hybrids per capita can sell electric cars. :-(
