Continental Toyota celebrates 50 years of business

Aug 22, 2016

We did it! We recently celebrated 50 years of business here at Continental Toyota.

Our store began as a small dealership, joining the Continental Motors Group in 1966, and has now evolved into a successful business with lifelong customers. To top it all off, our store was the first Toyota dealer in Illinois. It was also the second factory-authorized dealer in Chicago.

Today, Continental Motors Group is recognized as the largest dealer groups in Illinois with eight locations employing in excess of 480 people.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank our hard working employees and loyal customers for making Continental Toyota the successful business that it is today.

Dealer Principal Cheryl Nelson said to reach 50 years in a family business is the ultimate accomplishment.

“Looking back over the years, the hard working employees and guidance from my dad made this all possible,” she said. “I am thankful for the support of business relationships that were established over the years. I can say I still thoroughly enjoy what I do and look forward to the future as our business evolves.”
