Tampa Honda Land sold

TAMPA —Wesley Chapel's Williams Automotive Group purchased the property and business operations of Tampa Honda Land on Florida Avenue from an affiliate of Jacksonville-based Scott-McRae Group. While terms of the business acquisition were not publicly available, the deed reports that it paid $9 million for the dealership's real estate.

The new owner is changing the dealership's name to Tampa Honda.

“It's our first store in Hillsborough County and gives us more reach for the strategic growth of our company,” says Therese Bottino, Williams Automotive Group's marketing director. “It is a heritage location that has great potential to continue to serve the market and grow. We are excited and hoping to bring our culture, style and customer service to push it to the next level.”
