What is being built at 2300 Mabry Drive just east of the Sleep Inn hotel in Clovis?
That’s going to be the new home for Clovis’ Hyundai dealership, said Shawn Hamilton, spokesman for the Hamilton Auto Group.
“The building that we’re in was built in the late 1960s,” Hamilton said of the Hyundai site east of the planned new location.
“If you walk through the place it’s pretty wore out.”
Hamilton said the Hyundai Motor Company has been “on us” to build a new facility.
“They’ve been going for a similar look for their dealerships nationwide,” Hamilton said. “So when folks drive by they recognize it as a Hyundai dealership.”
Hamilton said the goal is for a great customer experience.
“We want it to be nice for the customer,” Hamilton said. “There’s going to be a lounge. It’ll be easier for people to get in and out.”
The expected completion date is “the million-dollar question. Hopefully in a year-and-a-half,” Hamilton said.
“Supply-chain issues have been a problem but we hope that subsides over time.”
As for the fate of the present building housing the Hyundai dealership, Hamilton said, “Someday the Toyota store will go there.”
