NEW ROCHELLE, NY (May 1, 2022) — Audi New Rochelle held its Grand Opening on Wednesday April 27 at their new location 2 Harrison Street, the former site of the New Roc City Stop & Shop.
The Ribbon Cutting event was hosted by the New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce with the City of New Rochelle, NY and the New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District.
After 40 years, the former Classic Audi of Eastchester has relocated to a brand new 130,000 square foot combined Sales, Service and Parts facility. Their entire campus, including the parking lot is weather protected.
All of the attendees marveled at the transformation of what had been a dingy, dirty, smelly parking area into a brightly lit, beautifully designed, aesthetically pleasing car lot.
Executive Director of the New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce Catherine White served as emcee. The speakers included Mayor Noam Bramson, Executive Director, of the New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District Karel Littman, Audi of New Rochelle owner Brian Miller, Audi of New Rochelle General Manager Joe Mara, Audi Corporate Senior Vice President Jeff Telerico.
“I started my career in 1983 with this dealership in Eastchester and it was a small store, a couple thousand square foot showroom and a small shop,” said Brian Miller. “To see this now, this beautiful, bright, open large facility and all the employees and it’s just amazing to me. I wish my dad was here. That was his baby. And this is just an amazing thing.
“I’m very proud of this place. And I know it’s gonna be great. We’re real happy to be in New Rochelle after 42 years in Eastchester. It’s a new beginning for us..”
