In a rare bit of good news for the rejected dealers, newspaper reports indicate GM has reinstated Dwayne Lane Chevrolet in Arlington, WA. The dealership was terminated in 2009 as part of GM's Bankruptcy filing.
Here's a link to the news report - click here (http://www.snohomishcountybusinessjournal.com/article/20110127/SCBJ02/701279872/-1/SCBJ)
The dealership held a Grand Opening celebration that was attended by over 400 local customers, employees and supporters.
Here's an excerpt from the news report:
In late 2009, Lane announced that General Motors had canceled its dealership in the wake of the recession that battered automakers across the country.
After General Motors emerged from bankruptcy, a GM official called Lane in late 2010 to reinstate the Arlington dealership, which has returned to Arlington with a larger presence than ever.
It appears in this case GM was willing to admit they made a mistake and allowed a dealer to re-open his dealership and add jobs to the community. It's too bad there aren't more stories like this one.
