BROCKTON—Bernardi Auto Group held a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony to highlight the opening of two new showrooms on Manley Street in Brockton.
“The city has been wonderful to work with,” said Jim Carney, Bernardi’s president and owner.
During ceremonies Thursday, June 16 Carney and Mayor Linda Balzotti cut a red-ribbon to officially open new Honda and Hyundai dealerships. (Pictured above left, with Balzotti, center, and State Rep. Michael Brady)
Carney also donated $5,000 to the city’s Brockton After Dark program which offers a host of free activities for youth and teens that takes place during summer nights.
Construction of the two new showrooms began last October.
The Hyundai show room has been open for more than a month. Its grand opening was held Wednesday, June 15 during a private reception.
Carney said the two dealerships employ close to 100 people and he hopes as the business grows that number will be increased to about 300.
One feature of the new Honda showroom is Jimbo’s Diner, (right) a 1950s-style diner that serves breakfast and lunch—meals that will be offered free to customers bringing their vehicles in for service.
