Visiting the New MINI Dealership in Pensacola

While trolling the web the other evening, I found a posting on a Mini forum about an invitation to visit the new MINI dealership under construction in Pensacola. After exchanging a couple of messages with the forum participants Melissa and I decided to join the group.

On our way into Pensacola, we happened on a group of five MINIs in caravan. We joined them on highway 29 and on in to the building site. We exchanged introductions and were ushered into the BMW showroom where we were greeted with coffee and doughnuts. The program was interesting and informative.

The dealer personnel -sales, service, parts and marketing - gave the group a quick rundown of the plans and let everyone know that the store is scheduled to be open in early August - in fact crews were working on Saturday.

The dealer personnel there took great pains to listen to the suggestions and advice of the MINI owners in attendance.

All in all it was a great day for a drive to P-Town. Stay tuned for more news about Sandy Sansing MINI and British Car Festival 2009...
