Morgan Auto Group announces acquisition of Naples Mazda and Naples Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM. The purchase expands the automotive group's portfolio to 23 dealerships and its unique brand offerings to 20.

Morgan Auto Group, one of the largest dealership groups in the nation, announced the purchase of Naples Mazda and Naples Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM. The dealerships were sold on Wednesday, March 1, 2017 by second-generation dealers Tom and Jon Myers.

“It’s been a true honor getting to know the Myers brothers during this process,” said Morgan Auto Group CEO Brett Morgan. “They are truly two of the finest gentleman that can be found in the business and we felt that we could be the finest caretakers of their legacy, their employees, and their life’s work.”

The purchase marks the automotive group's first acquisition in the Naples market. It also gives the Tampa-based automotive group a total of 23 rooftops and 20 unique brands.

“We felt the acquisition of these stores was positive in two ways: it brings us into a new market here in Southwest Florida that we happen to think a lot of, and it brings us five brands that weren’t currently on our roster,” stated MAG Chairman Larry Morgan.

Both dealership names will stay the same and the current General Manager, Wayne Gratkowski will stay over both stores.

Morgan Auto Group now has dealerships in Sarasota, Tampa, Wesley Chapel, Holiday, Port Richey, Ocala, Gainesville, Lake City, FL and Columbia, Missouri.
