In an economy that is impacting the auto industry in a big way, with the closures of some local dealerships and potentially more on the horizon, it is nice to report a positive piece of news regarding one of our leading dealerships in the Valley.
I attended the Grand Opening of the newly remodeled Bert Ogden Mazda Dealership in Edinburg on Wednesday.
This is the second Bert Ogden Dealership to implement the new "Retail Revolution" designed to change the customer sales experience.
It really is a refreshing take on your typical car dealership showroom.
To acknowledge the 30 years that the Bert Ogden Dealerships have sold the Mazda line, Jim O'Sullivan, president and chief executive officer of Mazda's North American operations (this is big folks), thanked the Vackars for their partnership and presented them with a plaque to commemorate the event.
In addition, the Vackars acknowledged their staff for their efforts in making the dealership what it is today.
Bob and Janet acknowledged their staff members who have worked with them for the past 30 years.
It was wonderful to hear the heartfelt comments about the employees who have demonstrated loyalty to the company they work for.
It is evident that the Bert Odgen's care about their company, their employees, and the community that they serve. Nice.
We are all in business. We all have to produce results.
If we do business the right way, and treat people with respect, we all win.
