How Long Will It Take?
At Christian Brothers Automotive, we don't buy existing auto repair facilities,
change the sign, and call it a day. Instead, we carefully
select and purchase land, then design and build a facility that meets the standards we know will
best serve our franchisee and future Christian Brothers Automotive customers.
This process takes approximately 18-24 months. Our commitment to this
process is critical to properly bringing the Christian Brothers Automotive
brand to a new community. We've never closed any of our 230+ locations
and believe that our diligence with this process is part of the reason why.
Brad Fink, our VP of Leadership and Development, puts it best: ”The
commercial real estate market is dynamic and competitive. Many different
retail and commercial concepts are constantly vying for the best locations
to place their businesses. We compete in this marketplace, but do not
deviate from our site selection criteria which has served us well for
more than 40 years. A few of those key criterion are: demographics, psychographics,
property size, price, zoning, traffic counts, nearby synergy team members
and many others as well."
Christian Brothers will work hard to negotiate the very best price and
terms it can to afford us the opportunity to do proper due diligence,
permitting processes with the city and finally build the highest quality
building in automotive repair. This is part of what we are known for in
the marketplace and will continue to make this a top priority in our new
store development program.”
