The Québec-based automotive retailer was named a 2026 finalist for the Mercuriades Awards in International Market Development, recognizing its North American expansion driven by innovation and measurable growth. Since 2009, the company has grown to 46 dealerships across Canada and the U.S., including Florida, California, Maryland, and Texas, using a data-driven model with Québec-developed analytics for localized inventory optimization. A $50 million investment in Houston’s megacenter—covering acquisitions, modernization, and talent recruitment—exceeded first-year sales targets while maintaining below-industry turnover rates. President John Hairabedian attributed the nomination to strategic vision and operational discipline, emphasizing sustainable growth rooted in transparency, innovation, and a family-oriented corporate culture. Winners will be announced at the May 11 gala in Montréal, hosted by the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec, the province’s largest business network.
