Yemm Ford Expected to Open Renovated Facility August 1st

9-25-14 YemmAn area automotive dealership has announced an opening date for its new facility–a project that has been more than a year in the making.

Yemm Ford at the corner of West Main and Linwood Road in Galesburg will open its new buildings by August 1st–if not sooner in late July. That’s according to General Sales manager Mike Glasnovich who says construction crews are currently preparing to finish renovation on the dealerships back two buildings.

Glasnovich says the service department, which wasn’t originally expected to be included in the project, has even had a number of upgrades.

Glasnovich tells WGIL, that once all of the construction is complete, the interior of the dealership will essentially be brand new.

“We’re going to have all brand new offices, restrooms, the room for the service writers, it’s all brand new, the showroom itself,” says Glasnovich. “It’s a brand new, great facility, the newest design by Ford, so we’re going to be one of the first ones to have it.”

Renovation plans stem from nearly two years ago, when Yemm purchased the former Lakis Ford/Dodge dealership. Last year, the dome structure that was largely recognizable on the property was removed.

Glasnovich says the new structure will be “brighter and much more open” than the previous facility. He believes the new design will “be great for the citizens of Galesburg to see.”
