Bret Chevrolet in Kent closes down
News reports indicated that Bret Chevrolet in Kent has laid off 63 employees and closed their dealership.
Here's a link to the news report: http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/busi...evrolet_closed While the closing of a Domestic Dealership is hardly news anymore, this is one of the first closings in Western Washington that didn't involve some type of consolidation. In this case the franchise just vaporized. The economy and the real estate cycle are finally starting to make their impact in this region. For over a year the Seattle area was still showing solid real estate sales while the rest of the nation was in a state of decline. The only question now is how long will this decline last and how deep will it go? |
