Dealership Getting Elmhurst’s Aid Expands Product Lines

The business says it will be the largest Sea-Doo dealership in the Midwest.

ELMHURST, IL – An Elmhurst dealership is expanding its lineup of products six months after the city of Elmhurst gave the business a $250,000 sales tax incentive.

On Monday, iMotorsports, 334 W. Grand Ave., announced the addition of Sea-Doo personal watercraft and Can-Am ATVs and Side-by-Sides to its inventory. According to its news release, it would be the largest dealer handling Sea-Doo service and sales in the Midwest.

“I’m confident our customers will leave a wake worth remembering with Sea-Doo,” iMotorsports co-founder Tim Walter said in the release.

Already sold are Indian Motorcycle brands such as Indian Chief, Indian Challenger, Indian Scout, Indian Springfield and Indian Roadmaster. iMotorsports also has two Florida locations, in Orlando and St. Petersburg.

In August, the Elmhurst City Council voted unanimously for an agreement with iMotorsports. It allowed the business to get half the sales tax money over a dozen years to help redevelop the property, up to $250,000.
