Anderson Automotive buys two Fort Myers luxury dealerships

What's the deal? Anderson Automotive Group has acquired Acura of Fort Myers and Lexus of Fort Myers, expanding the family-owned retailer's presence in Southwest Florida. The deal value was undisclosed. The two stores, both located on South Tamiami Trail, add established luxury brands to Anderson's portfolio.

What's the endgame? Founded in 1955, Anderson operates dealerships across the Southeast and sells new and pre-owned vehicles, parts, service, and financing. The company said the acquisitions bring its family-owned approach to two established luxury dealerships, with continued investment promised in stores, staff, and communities.

What changes for customers? Both dealerships will keep offering new, used, and certified pre-owned vehicles, genuine parts, and service. Anderson said buyers can expect "a continued focus on personalized service and a premium ownership experience."

Why now? Florida's auto-retail market is in an active consolidation phase as large groups compete for scale and premium-brand presence in growing regions.
