DURHAM, N.C. (Oct. 7, 2015) – Porsche Southpoint opens Oct. 5 at the Hendrick Southpoint Auto Mall, Hendrick Automotive Group’s third dealership at the new Southpoint location. A press conference is planned for Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 10 a.m. Members of the Porsche Southpoint management team will discuss the new store and grand opening events that will focus on charitable fund raising.
Formerly Performance Porsche, located at 1810 North Fordham Boulevard, Porsche Southpoint increases to a 20,310-square-foot facility and will stock new Porsches and a variety of luxury pre-owned vehicles. The service facility increases from three to eight service bays.
“We’re excited about this expansion,” states Executive General Manager Gerald Ramoin. “Performance Porsche joined the Performance Auto Mall family of dealerships in May 1992. Since that time they have shared showroom and service space with our other franchises, so their move to Hendrick Southpoint Auto Mall will enable us to expand our services and increase our inventory selection. To say we’re excited is an understatement.”
Performance Auto Mall in Chapel Hill includes Acura, BMW, Subaru, and HendrickCars.com pre-owned. In May, Performance Chevrolet and Hendrick Durham Auto Mall relocated to Hendrick Southpoint Auto Mall and became Hendrick Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac Southpoint.
“Our Acura, BMW, and Subaru brands remain in Chapel Hill,” said Ramoin, who continues as general manager of Porsche Southpoint. “In fact, we see Porsche’s move to Southpoint as a great opportunity for our Chapel Hill brands, because they have more room to grow and now have the ability to offer more parking and amenities than ever. This move is a win-win for Porsche Southpoint and Performance Auto Mall.”
