Royal Ford has had its biggest change in 28 years, moving to a new location and expanding with more services and an huge showroom.
Terry Ortynsky says that he's proud of what they have accomplished with the new dealership. He says that the support of customers and Ford of Canada have been key to making the new dealership happen.
Ford of Canada CEO Dianne Craig says that it's been a great year for Ford of Canada and the opening of the new Royal Ford is a part of that. She says she has been overwhelmed by the experience of visiting the dealer, and she has been impressed by her experience in Yorkton.
"This is a huge investment in our brand and in our company, and it speaks volumes about what Terry Ortynsky has done and what he thinks of our brand in the future."
Apart from a new dealership, Craig says that Saskatchewan a great place to be for the car industry in general, and Ford in particular.
"The growth we're seeing in Saskatchewan on our side of the business is outperforming the rest of Canada."
The new location has gone over well with the customer base, and Ortynsky says that it was something the business needed, as loyal customers keep returning they must focus on servicing all of the cars sold over the years, as well as selling new product.
The day also had a nod to the dealership's past, as original owner Russ Carnduff was honored with the Russ Carnduff library in the building.
Ortynsky says that after the big expansions for the Royal Auto Group, including the move for the business and the establishment of Royal Honda, they are now satisfied with the position the business is in now and there are currently no big changes anticipated in the near future.
