Driving the news: Crown Auto Group purchased a Subaru store from longtime owner David Weaver in a deal that closed June 24.
For context: Crown purchased Wheeling Volkswagen-Subaru, a dealership selling those two brands, in that West Virginia city.
Wheeling, West Virginia, is about three hours northeast of the state’s capital of Charleston, where Crown Auto is based. The group also owns dealerships in Pennsylvania.
The dealership, snuggled among the mountains off of U.S. 40, was renamed Crown Subaru and Crown Volkswagen.
The Tim Lamb Group represented the seller.
