Our History

 

The Anderson Auto Group story starts when Roger Anderson began his automotive career on the West Coast as a salesman and quickly moved through different levels of management before acquiring a dealership in Newcastle, Wyoming. In 1986, he purchased a dealership in Grand Island, Nebraska, that has experienced tremendous growth. The business expanded again in 1993, with the purchase of a dealership in Lincoln, Nebraska housing Ford, Lincoln, and eventually, Mazda. Anderson built a state-of-the-art dealership right off of I-80 and the 27th Street exit in June, 2001.

The combined success of the first two dealerships enabled the Anderson Group to acquire the Ford dealership in St. Joseph, Missouri in 1996. The Saint Joseph store has multiple lines which also include, Lincoln, Kia, Mitsubishi, Honda ATV, and Quick Lane to better serve our customers. Kia was added to the Grand Island dealership in 2007. On June 1, 2008 Mike Anderson purchased the Auto Group from Roger Anderson. Mike has attained valuable experience by working through all areas of the entire dealership operation and today, he is involved daily in the success of all eight dealerships. This entails franchises with Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, Kia, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Mitsubishi, Quick Lane, Honda ATV and Yamaha Powersports across three markets of Grand Island, Lincoln and Saint Joseph.

While we’re proud of our past, we’re not looking to slow down! If you’d like to share in our growth and success, please view our open positions and apply today!
