Some of it is politics.
They are closing the only Dodge/Mopar dealer on the island of Maui. Used to do quite well, but they got smart and picked up Honda and Subaru a few years back.... So now Mopar mugwugs are closing that dealership, at least the Dodge part.
Yet that franchisee also has Mopar dealerships on the big island, one on the Hilo side and one on the Kona side...
Here on Oahu we have three Mopar dealers, two owned by the same outfit within a five miles of each other. They used to have one of the stores downtown, which was 20 miles away from their Waipahau store. Mopar owned the dealership property and raised the rent. So the franchisee took the lock stock and barrel and moved out to where his recon center was...
GM closed the poorest selling store here on Oahu. The only one on the windward side. It also is shared by Toyota/Suzuki and has another locale on the Leeward side. And GM has 5 other stores on Oahu. One, which is the only Cad store here has the lowest csi rating possible without GM pulling the franchise, only because there is no one who wants to pick up the store.
