Vehicles from
Hood River Chrysler Jeep Dodge on the Heights were moved Friday
to 1802 12th Street after the local Ford dealership
there was closed.
Treasa Hansen,
general manager of Hood River Auto Group, said the Ford
dealership was closed so the company could focus on Hood River
Chrysler Jeep Dodge. Hansen said the 12th street
location across from Rosauer’s Super Market will accommodate
expansion into 2008 and beyond.
“We outgrew
the old facility,” Hansen said. “We have grown so much that we
needed a bigger lot.”
The 12th
street location is almost five acres, Hansen said.
Hood River
Auto Group has 48 employees, Hansen said. The company retained
its Ford certified technicians and equipment.
