Caroline Grossinger, and her brother, Gary Grossinger, have opened the doors to one of the largest, most elaborative car dealerships in the Midwest, Grossinger City Autoplex.  On August 31^st, the doors to the 400,000 square foot mega dealership finally opened to the public after years of planning and renovating.

Grossinger City Autoplex houses 4 major brands: Toyota, Scion, Cadillac and Chevy, and occupies a full city block.  The massive dealership boasts 4 floors, over 500 new cars in stock, 54 service bays and an indoor used-car showroom. Customers are given the royal treatment, having access to a full-service cafe, nail spa, shoeshine stand, three children’s playrooms with toys and chalkboards, laptops with Wi-Fi and a small library of books.

Grossinger City employees are also enjoying the new perks associated with working for Chicago’s largest auto dealership.  There is a basketball gym and showers for employees.

Gary Grossinger says that beyond the luxury and technology of the new facility, the building is energy-efficient, and he hopes to win Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

The Grossingers admit that opening the new facility during a shaky economy wasn’t ideal.  “I could have pulled the plug,” said Gary Grossinger, “But I chose not to because I really believe in this market.”

Grossinger City Autoplex is located at the North and Clybourn Avenue retail corridor.  Consumers can learn more information online at http://www.grossingercityautoplex.com/
