Hutchinson Chevrolet-Pontiac Dealer to Reopen Under Midway Motors Ownership

Midway Motors in Kansas has completed the acquisition of the Hambelton LaGreca Chevrolet- Pontiac dealership in Hutchinson, adding another location to the expanding family of McPherson-based dealerships.  The new acquisition extends their reach into Hutchinson and Wichita and will offer nearly twice the amount of cars as the original Hambelton dealership.

Glen Hoover and the Midway Motors family have steadily continued to infiltrate the McPherson area since 1991, expanding their presence to now include multiple cities.  In 1995, Hoover bought a dealership in Beloit, though he then sold it to its longtime manager a few years ago. In 2006, Midway Motors purchased Lacy Motors in McPherson, and in 2008, bought out Irv Schroeder's GM dealership in Hillsboro.  Many believe their 2009 purchase of Hambelton LaGreca will not be the last for the company.

Many Kansas dealers, along with much of the country, are facing steep declines in business since the nation has been battling its worse recession.  According to Hoover, they look at the recession with optimism adding, “I do look at the recession as an opportunity for the auto industry.  We've had a very minor decline in business and it gave us the opportunity for expansion.  We have complete confidence that the American auto industry will be back full-steam.”

“We are proud and excited to have the opportunity to serve our Hutchinson customer base with a store in Hutch,” said Hoover.
