Continuing a buzz of M&A activity among auto retailers, Zeigler Auto Group said Monday it has purchased four stores in Wisconsin from Home Run Auto Group, a move that marks its first acquisition in the state.

The four acquired stores include Honda of Racine, Toyota of Racine, Kenosha Subaru, and Racine Hyundai, which have been renamed Zeigler Honda of Racine, Zeigler Toyota of Racine, Zeigler Subaru of Kenosha and Zeigler Hyundai of Racine, respectively.

In addition to its first presence in Wisconsin, the acquisition adds Toyota and Hyundai to Zeigler’s brand portfolio.

The group now has 78 dealership franchises and 35 locations throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, in addition to other business endeavors.

The group has purchased nine stores in the last 16 months, including Subaru of Merrillville in May.

“We are very proud to be expanding Zeigler into the great state of Wisconsin,” Zeigler Auto Group president and owners Aaron Zeigler said. “We know that the community here will appreciate the way we do business, not just in how we go above and beyond for every single customer, but also in the way that we make it a priority to actively take part in the communities where we operate.”

He later added in the release: “Besides the fact that these are top performing, high volume stores, we chose these stores because of their great potential. They will without a doubt offer all of our customers, both current and new, access to more choices with their locations being right off the highway.”

The company said it plans to retain all staff at the new stores.
