True, but those are usually in retail development areas. If I understand it right, this CJD store is in the heart of SF. There has got to be a market for that.

Make that 22 Dealerships - Shaver C/J and Weaver Jeep have down
In light of the investigations by California's Department of Motor Vehicles it's clear that the closing of Shaver Chrysler/Jeep was not part of a "Project Genesis" consolidation.
I've also added Weaver Jeep to the list. Although they were mainly a GM Dealer in Grass Valley, CA they also has a single point Jeep Franchise. Here's the updated list:

I just figured that it was bad information. In hindsight, maybe it was just premature. I've never been to Superior CJD but I understand that it's a new facility with a high rent factor. That will make four Chrysler stores that have closed (or announced closing) in California so far in 2009. |

one of my chrysler reps just walked in the door and informed me that Westoaks CJD in Thousand Oaks CA is closing. he did state this was not due to economic hardship, rather the dealership was acquired last year by an auto group that wanted the property to put in a highline, or large used car operation. either way, that was quite a dealership at one point in time.

On an side note, I didn't know that Woodward had sold the store. I always liked him, I hope he's enjoying retirement or something? |

he sold it to Rusnak (i hope i spelled that right) last year, i think in the spring or summer. and yes, Mr. Woodward was a great guy who ran a classy operation. i certainly hope he is enjoying retirement! |

It would make sense for Rusnak to use that property for a high end dealership - it has such great exposure on the 101. Still, it's kind of sad to see Westoaks go away. Hopefully the neighboring dealerships will see an increase in sales. It sure seems like Crown Dodge could use a jolt to get back to the glory days when they were one of the top selling Dodge dealers in California. |
