Lithia Motors Inc. announces the grand opening of a Volkswagen franchise in Freehold, N.J.

Operating as DCH Volkswagen of Freehold, the store is expected to add $35 million in annual revenues.

“We are pleased to expand our partnership with Volkswagen and to increase our presence in New Jersey, as DCH Volkswagen of Freehold is our fourth store in the Freehold market,” said Bryan DeBoer, Lithia’s president and chief executive officer. “This allows us a greenfield expansion opportunity as we continue to grow our store footprint in both DCH and Lithia markets.”

Lithia Motors purchased DCH in 2014, creating one of the United States' largest dealership chains.
