Semersky Enterprises has acquired Audi Kirkwood from LeadCar, according to a news release Tuesday from Haig Partners, which advised Semersky on the deal.

Semersky has three Audi stores in the greater Chicago and St. Louis areas.

“We are excited to add Audi Kirkwood to the Semersky family of Audi dealerships and bring our passion for Audi to another great city in the Midwest where we’ve been the leading Audi dealer for over 45 years,” Ernie Semersky, the dealer group’s chief executive officer said in a news release.

“We look forward to working with the Audi Kirkwood team and bringing our best-in-class client experience to the St. Louis marketplace.”

Kevin Nill of Haig Partners added: “We congratulate Ernie Semersky on his acquisition of Audi Kirkwood and the continued expansion of their Audi portfolio. While we normally represent sellers of dealerships, Semersky Enterprises wanted an advisor to help them identify the best fit for their growth strategy, help them analyze the opportunity, and negotiate the deal.

“We are grateful to Ernie and his team for placing their trust in us to help them meet their strategic objectives. This is another transaction demonstrating the confidence buyers have in the future of auto retail and the willingness to grow.”
