Wolfe Automotive Group Gives Up Saturn Franchise

Bizjournals.com:

Wolfe Automotive Group will terminate its franchise agreement with Saturn and convert its three Saturn dealerships to used-car lots starting Tuesday, a Saturn official said Friday.

Wolfe Automotive’s Saturn dealerships in the Northland, Blue Springs and Olathe have about 100 employees combined, all of whom will remain with the company, Sandy Belvedere, zone manager for Saturn’s south-central region, said in an interview.

Wolfe Automotive decided to stop operating the dealerships because of the tough economy, she said.
