When the Mercedes-Benz store on Oak Lawn Avenue became the first store in the Park Place Dealerships brand in 1987, there were no computers to track inventory, or formal employee training programs, and no one talked about company culture. In fact, there wasn’t even a company website or email. Now, 35 years later, Park Place is a leader in the automotive industry with technology, training, and a culture that has been rewarded at the national level. And, one thing is certain, Park Place Dealerships’ next 35 years will be as vastly different as the first.
