DULUTH, Ga. -

This week, Asbury Automotive Group acquired Sandy Springs Ford, a franchised dealership that generates approximately $110 million in revenues annually.

Asbury rebranded the dealership as Nalley Ford Sandy Springs, bringing the number of group stores in Georgia to 16.

The newly acquired store is located at 7555 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs, a northern suburb of Atlanta.  For 30 years, company officials highlighted, this Ford store has served customers from all over Georgia.

"The acquisition of this Ford store provides a great addition and diversity to our suite of stores in Georgia,” Monaghan said. “We’re looking forward to carrying on the superior quality of service and sales the customers of Sandy Spring Ford have come to expect.

“We welcome these fine employees to the Asbury family and are excited about our future in Sandy Springs,” he went on to say.
