Mountain View Auto Group has expanded into the Cleveland, Tennessee, market with the purchase of the Nissan dealership there.
Don Thomas, the group’s managing partner, said the Chattanooga-based company on Wednesday finalized the acquisition of the dealership from Sonic Automotive. The store will be called Mountain View Nissan of Cleveland, he said.
“This is our first expansion into the Cleveland market,” Thomas said. “We’re really excited about that.”
Two years ago, North Carolina-based Sonic opened the $9.8 million dealership at Interstate 75 and U.S. Highway 74 at Exit 20. Sonic also owns Nissan of Chattanooga East located on Highway 153.
For Mountain View, the new acquisition now gives it three Nissan dealerships in the area – one in Cleveland, Chattanooga and Dalton, Georgia.
