Buick GMC in Buford To Start Construction on New 55,000 Square Foot Facility

Buick GMC in Buford To Start Construction on New 55,000 Square Foot Facility
2012-08-13
 

On Wednesday, August 15, 2012, Jim Ellis Buick GC Mall of Georgia in Buford, GA will have the official groundbreaking that will start the creation of the brand new 55,000 square foot facility set on 12 acres that will open in mid-2013.

The groundbreaking will also bring a host of notable local attendees including Owner Mr. Jim Ellis, COO Mr. Jimmy Ellis, Vice President of G Brands Mark Frost, GMC Mall of Georgia General Manager David Richerson, and many others including representatives from General Motors, Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, Gwinnett Daily Post, Buford Weekly, Univision, and more.

VP of GM Brands Mark Frost stated, "When acquiring the Buick GMC franchise two years ago, Jim Ellis leased the current facility from the previous owner. The current facility is decades old and is inadequately suited to meet the needs of consumers in today's retail environment. The new facility will be a significant upgrade, befitting of the premium/luxury image of the Buick and GMC brands and will afford Jim Ellis customers the latest in comfort and convenience in sales, service, and parts."

The new location will be a state of the art facility and the groundbreaking will prove to be an exciting event to kick off this momentous journey. The ceremony will take place at 10am on Wednesday August 15 at 3612 Buford Drive in Buford, GA. Let the celebration begin!

2012 GMC Acadia Wins Best Retained Value Award

2012 GMC Acadia Wins Best Retained Value Award
Edmunds.com names full-size crossover to top of its class
2012-4-20


DETROIT - The 2012 GMC Acadia 
has the "Best Retained Value" for SUVs between $35,000 and $45,000 according to the consumer automotive research website Edmunds.com.

Retained value is defined as the projected residual value of a vehicle after five years of ownership, expressed as a percentage of the Edmunds "True Market Value" when sold new. Acadia should expect a 5-year-old vehicle to maintain 46 percent of its original cost.

"This accolade from Edmunds verifies what many of our customers already know - that GMC vehicles continue to deliver great value," said Brian Sweeney, U.S. vice president of Buick GMC Sales and Service.

Acadia had its best sales year ever in 2011, with sales up 16 percent compared with 2010. Through its life, nearly half of the crossover's customers have been buyers new to General Motors.
