Naples Hyundai store completes multimillion-dollar renovation

Tamiami Hyundai has just completed a major remodel of the interior and exterior of its building at 6780 Airport-Pulling Road N. in Naples.

The multimillion-dollar project included a new facade, sales offices, an expanded showroom, freshly paved lot, service drive expansion and a customer lounge. 

The work was part of a rebranding effort by Hyundai Motor Corp. to introduce new colors and designs. 

The remodel took about seven months and during that time the dealership’s entire sales and service staff, customer reception and sales areas were moved to trailers on the property. 

In addition to the remodel, the Zellers family is in the process of building a new dealership for its Genesis franchise next door to the Tamiami Hyundai store. 

The new $25 million Genesis of Naples is being built at the intersection of Pine Ridge Road and Interstate 75. The 30,000-square-foot store will be on 10.5 acres the Zellers family bought in 2022 for $11.2 million. 

In addition to Hyundai and Genesis stores, the Zellers also owns Tamiami Ford at 1471 Airport-Pulling Rd. N. 

According to a statement, the Zellers’ family business — run by Robert and Sheila Zellers, their daughter Joy Zellers-Rautenkranz and son A.J. Zellers — employ about 300 and sell more than 5,000 new and used vehicles annually.
