BMW Brampton officially broke ground on a new, state-of-the-art BMW dealership, in October. Located on the east side of Highway 410 at Mayfield Rd., in Brampton, Ont., the dealership is scheduled to open its doors in late 2015 and will service Brampton, Caledon, Orangeville and surrounding areas.
The ceremony included remarks from dealership General Manager, Francesco A. Policaro; Chief of Staff for the City of Brampton, Ian Newman; Robert Arnone of R.H. Carter Architects; and, the President and CEO of BMW Group Canada, Hans Blesse.
“BMW is a brand that I have always aspired to be a part of, and today my dreams have become a reality as we broke ground on a facility that we believe will become one of the most exciting showcases for BMW this side of Munich,” says Francesco A. Policaro, General Manager for BMW Brampton.
“BMW Brampton will be the 46th BMW retailer in Canada when its doors open in late 2015,” says Hans Blesse, President and CEO, BMW Group Canada. “Brampton is a growing and vibrant market, and we’re certain the Policaro family’s significant investment will be well received by the community.
As an established family business focused on providing exceptional customer service, we know the Policaro way of doing business has a lot in common with ours,” Blesse says. “The Policaro Family is an excellent fit with BMW, and we look forward to seeing them grow and prosper in Brampton, Caledon and the surrounding markets.”
The 60,000 sq. ft. facility at the corner of Highway 410 and Mayfield Road will offer guests a striking brand atmosphere and exclusive automotive retail experience that will also include an “M” certified retail experience dedicated to BMW performance.
