Jenkins Ford in Buckhannon expands reach with acquisition of neighboring franchise

Jenkins Ford in Buckhannon

Buckhannon, W.Va. – Jenkins Ford, a leading Ford retailer in Buckhannon, is proud to announce the acquisition of a neighboring franchise in Weston.

The acquisition will allow Jenkins Ford to welcome the former customers of the acquired franchise and provide them with an even wider range of high-quality Ford vehicles and services. The dealership which formerly held the Weston Ford franchise will carry on their used car operation unaffiliated with Ford or Jenkins Automotive.

“We are thrilled to be able to expand our reach to Lewis County and better serve the communities close to us,” said John Jenkins, President of Jenkins Ford. “Our goal is to provide our customers with the best possible automotive retail and service experience, and this acquisition allows us to continue doing just that. We look forward to welcoming our neighbors from Lewis County, especially since we are considerably closer to them than any other Ford dealer.”

Jenkins Ford is known for its commitment to customer satisfaction and offering a wide range of Ford vehicles and pre-owned vehicles at competitive prices. With the acquisition of the Weston franchise, Jenkins Ford is now even better equipped to provide customers with the vehicle of their dreams. Jenkins Ford is part of the Jenkins Automotive family of dealerships, which include Jenkins Subaru and Jenkins Hyundai, both of Bridgeport.
