The Rick Case Automotive Group to break ground in January 2013 and open by Summer
DAVIE, FL (December 18, 2012) – Rick Case of the Rick Case Automotive Group, one of the nation’s most recognized automotive groups, announced today that he will build an all-new Volkswagen dealership located on I-75 next to the Cleveland Clinic in Davie, FL. At 328,000 square feet and towering eight stories, Rick Case’s fifth dealership on the Davie/Weston Auto Row will be the largest and tallest Volkswagen dealership worldwide. The new Volkswagen dealership will break ground in January 2013 with a grand opening planned for next summer.
“The Rick Case Automotive Group is proud to open the world’s largest Volkswagen dealership,” said Rick Case. “It is, and always will be, our mission to deliver unrivaled customer service in superior dealerships to the South Florida community. We felt we owed it to our customers to bring a Volkswagen dealership to West Broward, especially since Volkswagen is one of the fastest growing auto companies in the U.S. Volkswagen opened their new state-of-the-art factory in Chattanooga, TN in 2010 and aims to be the world’s leading auto manufacturer by 2018.”
“Adding to our already strong presence in South Florida is important to the continued growth of the Volkswagen brand in the United States,” said Bob Kim, General Manager, Network Operations, Volkswagen of America. “We’re excited to expand our footprint in the region with an established organization like the Rick Case Automotive Group and proud to welcome Rick Case to the Volkswagen of America family.”
The dealership will feature 1,000 new and used cars inside under showroom lights, and will open with 200 employees which will grow to a staff of over 300. Customers can expect the same satisfying Rick Case customer service and exclusive incentives such as the Three-Day Free Trial program, double-the-manufacturer nationwide warranty and the Rick Case Rewards Program that saves customers hundreds, and even thousands of dollars on future purchases of vehicles, service and parts, and allows them to receive discount gas and free car washes for life.
“We’re very excited about having another Rick Case dealership in Davie,” said Town of Davie Mayor, Judy Paul. “In the last ten years, Rick Case has brought four dealerships to Davie, and Rita and Rick have been wonderful to work with. Their support of our community is second to none, and the town has greatly benefitted from our partnership with them.”
Stiles Construction has been tapped to build the new Rick Case Volkswagen dealership which will be the contractor’s 11th project for Rick Case Automotive Group. Stiles Architectural Group will be the lead architect having successfully designed eight other Rick Case dealerships. Stiles was a natural choice for General Contractor, having successfully built over 100 automotive dealerships throughout the Southeast. Rick Case and Stiles have forged a relationship over the past 10 years that has reshaped the automotive landscape in South Florida.
The new Volkswagen dealership will be constructed utilizing a fast track delivery method, which has been employed to successfully complete similar Rick Case dealerships. Stiles has proven that they have true expertise in an industry where it is imperative that the contractor understand the needs and business model of an automotive dealership.
