Genesis has expanded its California footprint with the grand opening of Genesis of San Bruno, a dealership serving the San Francisco Peninsula.
The new location is owned and operated by Cardinale Automotive Group, which also operates Genesis of Corona and Genesis of Mountain View.
“Genesis of San Bruno represents an important addition to our growing Genesis portfolio and reflects our continued commitment to the Bay Area,” said Cardinale Automotive Group dealer principal Christian Pullara.
It marks the South Korean luxury brand’s 85th stand-alone U.S. store.
“As a key market for Genesis and home to a growing community of consumers who value design and innovation, Northern California plays an important role in our continued growth,” said Genesis Motor North America Chief Operating Officer Tedros Mengiste.
“The opening of Genesis of San Bruno expands our presence in the region and brings our signature hospitality and ownership experience to more customers.”
Alongside the grand opening, the Genesis Inspiration Foundation presented a $25,000 grant to Peninsula Girls Chorus, a nonprofit choral music program in the Bay Area. And Genesis Motor America donated $10,000 to San Bruno AYSO Region 249, a youth soccer organization, through its corporate social responsibility initiative, Genesis Gives.
