Atlanta, you're now in a select club. You're one of only six cities in the U.S. with its own standalone Genesis store. (You can also hear the CarPro Show in Atlanta on WSB 750AM/95.5 FM each Saturday from 12-2pm EST).
Genesis of Atlanta, the brand's first standalone retail store in Georgia, is owned and operated by Wes Ellis, President and CEO of Jim Ellis Automotive Group.
“The southeastern United States remains an important market for our brand, and we are pleased to be introducing Genesis of Atlanta to customers in Georgia,” said Claudia Marquez, chief operating officer of Genesis Motor North America. “We are proud to partner with Wes Ellis and the Jim Ellis Automotive Group in this venture. We appreciate their commitment to providing an exceptional retail experience for our customers.”
To celebrate the recent grand opening, Genesis Motor America and Genesis of Atlanta joined forces to give back to the community by presenting a $20,000 donation to Chamblee Boys & Girls Club. This charitable contribution falls under the automaker's Genesis Gives program that supports STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) education, sports, and athletics programming for children.
“We are proud to bring the first standalone Genesis retail facility to the Peach State,” said Wes Ellis, dealer principal of Genesis of Atlanta. “We look forward to welcoming the community into our new home to introduce them to the impressive Genesis product lineup.”
The Genesis of Atlanta showroom features an open floor plan that showcases the brand's product portfolio including the new electrified G80 and electrified GV70. Genesis says several more standalone locations are currently under development nationwide.
