Payless Car Sales, Inc. continues to expand its brand across the Nation
adding five new dealerships and two new states to its quality pre-owned car
sales franchise system. The new stores are located in Athens, Texas,
Bakersfield and Sacramento, Calif., Sedona, Ariz. and Seymour,
Ind.
"In today's increasingly competitive marketplace branding is more important
than ever", said Payless President and COO, Mike Harley. "With so many
choices, savvy consumers look to a brand, a name they recognize and trust,
to help them save both time and money. When looking for a quality pre-owned
vehicle at a great price", added Harley, "the name that more and more
shoppers are beginning to think of is Payless Car Sales".
"2006 has been a great year for Payless. We've added several new states and
a number of new dealers, cemented quality relationships with some key
industry players like Capitol One Auto Finance and Citigroup Financial Group
and secured a Master Franchise Development Agreement for expansion into
Canada" said Harley. "Our unique franchising formula "National Brand - Local
Identity" is being well received by independents seeking to grow their
businesses. They realize that by affiliating with Payless they can
capitalize on the best of both worlds - "local reputation" and "trusted
acceptance" at a much broader level". "Frankly", Harley added, "with the way
things are developing, I believe 2007 will be our best year ever".
Payless Car Sales was initially formulated to provide a sales platform for
disposing of rental vehicles for its sister company Payless Car Rental. It
became a separate entity in February 2002 and has now grown to nearly 60
locations in 16 states and Puerto Rico. With that kind of growth and
demonstrated success, inquiries from independents around the country and
beyond have been steadily increasing.
Payless Car Sales, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Florida-based Avalon
Global Group, Inc., a privately held company headquartered in St.
Petersburg, Florida. The Payless group of companies upholds the highest
business standards and continually strives for opportunities to diversify
and improve the Payless brand.
