Nick Holloman: Hello, How may I help you?
You: When will your MINI dealership open?
Nick Holloman: beginning of July
You: great. I own a MINI and live in Montgomery. That will be much easier to visit.
Nick Holloman: Well we would love to have you! the building is looking great so far. It will be the largest MINI dealer in the US
You: Great to hear. I wish you all lots of luck! I look forward to visiting. I will check back for specific dates for the grand opening.

I am extremely excited : )

 

That's cool I will visit it when I'm in B'ham visiting family.

 

It will be the biggest MINI dealership because it was formerly a Cadillac dealership. It isn't an add-on to the BMW dealership across the street. We cruised by and checked it out; looking good!
