Doesn't Chesters own dealerships in other states? Are they sold also?

Why is this "dealership sold" crap always some kind of noteworthy news?
People buy and sell businesses all the time,, it's usually about profit,, or tax write off,,
So why is it news?

There is a Chester's here in Reno. Seems like business as usual there.

It's a discussion forum. Most educated people can tell by the thread title what the thread is about. If the title is not up to your standards of newsworthiness, feel free to not click on it and FRO.

FRO ?,, what's that? A mean thing or a haircut? I can't Fro,, I'm pretty much balding.

Our local dealer has changed hands 3 times in the last 20yrs. I hope that yours changes it's name like ours did,, it'll give you a chance to get a T-shirt with a different logo.

Doc Holidays in Glenwood Springs changed in summer of 2014 and I got a new bike in June 2014.
Part of my "new bike gift bag" was an old t-shirt w/ the old logo. I thought that was pretty damn cheap and not the good way to start off your new dealership. I asked about a new shirt because the logo was pretty damn cool and they looked at me like I was crazy. Said a new one cost 24.99 and they would add it to the bike purchase.


The staff make the dealership that's for sure.

Because depending on who buys the business it can either get better, or go down the toilet. Sometimes you can check and see what other dealerships they own, and how they operate.

Some stores are family owned some owned by multiple people. So far I think the family owned stores have better customer service.
