Based on their 27.5-percent increase in revenue from 2005 to 2006, Milosch’s Palace Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge Inc., on Lapeer Road was honored as one of Crain’s fastest-growing companies.
The Crain’s Detroit Business list, released on July 23, had the longtime Orion Township automotive dealer listed 22nd of all eligible metro-Detroit businesses.
Managing partners Don and Brian Milosch credited continued growth in the community and their purchase of the assets of Milosch Dodge last August as reasons for their inclusion on the list.
‘It’s based off of growth sales and our business has just been growing with the community,? Don noted.
The brothers said there have been increased sales continuously since their family acquired the Chrysler brand in 1967.
In the past year, Don said there has been a 20-percent increase in both Chrysler/Jeep and Dodge sales at the combined location.
Now in their fourth generation of Milosch ownership, the brothers said their inclusion on the Crain’s list will not be a one-time deal.
The dealership is expecting to break ground on the new Milosch Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge in the coming weeks.
‘We’re really excited to give this town one of the nicest dealerships in the country, if not the nicest,? said Brian of the two-to-three year project which will take place at their current location (3800 S. Lapeer).
‘It will be a landmark for this community,? he added.
The new and improved dealership is one that has been in the plans for quite some time.
‘It’s been the accumulation of a couple of years with us and the township and the DEQ,? Don said, noting that their work with the township has been extremely positive.
‘This will truly be a one-stop shop for all of your needs,? Brian said. ‘There’s no reason to go anywhere else.
With all of the Chrysler lines on board, the brothers said the new store will easily be among the top-15 in the world. But they quickly added that the new status will not change the way they do business.
‘We’re very visible in the community and we’re very hands-on,? Don said. ‘We’re certainly not absentee owners. There’s always a member of the Milosch family present.?
Palace Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge Inc. is located at 3800 S. Lapeer Road.
