The Van Horn Automotive group has announced the acquisition of Grovert Chevrolet, located in Newhall, Iowa . According to a press release this marks the 11th dealership to be part of the Van Horn Automotive Group, and the 2nd Chevrolet dealership, since the original Joe Van Horn Chevrolet of Plymouth, WI, opened in 1966. Van Horn has a dealership in Fond du Lac. This will be the first dealership location outside the state of Wisconsin. However, Iowa is not new territory for the Van Horn family. “My great grandparents immigrated from Ireland and settled in Ainsworth, near Washington, Iowa,” said Chuck Van Horn, Chief Executive Officer of Van Horn Automotive Group. “We celebrated our centennial on the family farm about 10 years ago, which is still owned by our cousin who is a 4th generation farmer.” Van Horn says it intends to increase vehicle inventory and further develop the service center, as well as grow staff. Jon Bell, a member of the acquisition team, will be the executive manager of Van Horn Chevrolet of Newhall.
