AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE:AN) shares sprang Friday as the company, one of the largest automotive retailers in the United States, announced the opening of Porsche Hilton Head. The latter company is a newly constructed retail and service center designed to deliver the full Porsche luxury experience to customers and enthusiasts across Hilton Head Island, the greater Savannah area, and the wider Lowcountry.
The two-floor, 34,000-square-foot facility is one of a select number of U.S. dealerships built to Porsche’s Generation 5 “Destination Porsche” standard. The design features a light-filled showroom, customer lounge, Porscheplatz Café, dedicated Porsche 4Kids space and service viewing areas that reflect Porsche’s focus on performance, design and hospitality. The Fitting Lounge further enhances the experience, offering customers the ability to personalize their Porsche through a wide range of bespoke options.
The dealership is located within one of the fastest-growing regions in South Carolina’s Lowcountry, driven by sustained population growth and continued regional development.
Said AutoNation CEO Mike Manley “Porsche Hilton Head redefines what customers can expect from a luxury automotive retail experience.
“The new facility reflects our commitment to the Lowcountry and our continued investment in high-growth markets where we cater to an evolving customer base that is looking for an experience-driven environment.”
AN shares acquired $3.44, or 1.8%, to $195.63.
