Larry H. Miller Dealerships are proud to announce the group’s eighth store in Colorado with the acquisition of Lakewood Fordland in Lakewood, Colo., marking our second acquisition in the Denver metro area this year and 10th acquisition in the last 18 months.
“We’ve been in a period of growth over the last two years as the auto industry is strong and the Denver market is thriving,” said Dean Fitzpatrick, president, Larry H. Miller Dealerships (LHM Dealerships). “Colorado is one of our largest markets, and we’ve done business in the state since 1987 when we opened our first store. This acquisition shows our continued commitment to the Denver metro area.”
“I’ve done business with the Larry H. Miller Group for nearly 20 years through their company that provides vehicle service contracts,” said seller Robert Liedel. “I know they take good care of their customers and employees and actively give back to the community. It also brings me comfort to know that they’re retaining my current team of employees and welcoming them into the LHM family.”
LHM Dealerships strongly supports giving back in the communities where it conducts business. Through Larry H. Miller Charities, the dealerships give back to communities by focusing their united service and corporate giving on women’s and children’s issues, with an emphasis on health and education. Since 1996, more than $225,000 has been donated to nearly 70 qualified nonprofit organizations throughout Colorado.
Lakewood Fordland has been serving the Denver market since 1962, and recently celebrated 50 years in a new 60,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility. The store is located at 11595 W. 6th Ave. in Lakewood and has been renamed Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood.
