"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."
This is actually not the official motto of the U.S. Postal Service (they don't have one), but a lot of people think it is. I think that it should become the official motto of The Checkered Blog because I went out in torrential downpours this morning to get you the scoop on the opening of smart center Virginia Beach. I was not the only one who braved the rain, however. Here is smart center Virginia Beach’s awesome staff hard at work this morning. (Gary Gullickson, smart brand manager; Paige Bias, smart brand executive assistant; Mike Sullivan, C.D. Morris, and Kate Heidbrick, all smart brand specialists.)
These first photos show that the dealership really turned out great. It’s SO clean yet modern and showcases the smart cars beautifully. And, of course, no Checkered Flag dealership would be considered complete without a gorgeous cappuccino machine (LOL). There definitely isn’t another building like it that I’ve seen. Hours today are 10am-7pm and test drives are being offered on a first-come, first-served basis. It was crowded this morning, but people seemed really into checking out the static display on the showroom floor, watching the different videos and reading all the literature on options, safety, etc.
Please, come back and visit us often as we will be posting all sorts of information about the new smart center. If you have questions or want more information, stop by 5193 Virginia Beach Blvd. or call 757-687-3447.
Congratulations on your new smart dealership.
Also to Roger Penske, who sure knows how to pick a winner.
