Our story began humbly in 1946, with the opening of a Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge store across from Lithia Springs Park in Ashland, Oregon. Fifty years later, in 1996, after opening a few additional stores and training a talented team of leaders, our CEO decided the best way to give new opportunities to this incredible team was to join the public stock exchange.
