ENTERPRISE:A new Kia dealership is coming to the city of Enterprise. On city leaders broke ground for the project.The dealership is expected to provide 25 more jobs, and they’re hoping it’ll help boost the economy. The building will be about 17,000 square feet.Enterprise Kia will be the fifth dealership owned by A&D Automotive Group, but not the first in Enterprise. The company also owns Enterprise Chevrolet, in addition to Kia, Volkswagen and Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram in Dothan.
“If you build where other automotive dealerships are you’re naturally going to be able to do good business and the people that come from enterprise are not going to have to go all the way to Dothan,” said A&D Automotive Group owner, Dino Velazquez.
“The main thing we look at are jobs and stability. Car dealerships don’t build and they’re gone a year from now. They’re here for the long run and no matter how bad the economy gets they stay” said Lisa Fenner, Enterprise Chamber of Commerce President.This project is expected to cost over $4 million and leaders are hoping it will be completed by March 2016.
