Luther Plans Fiat Dealership Near Highway 100

The dealership will be on the site of the old Suzuki dealership.

Luther Automotive plans to establish a new Fiat dealership on the site of the old Suzuki dealership by Highway 100.

The shuttered dealership, located at 1820 Quentin Ave. S., has been vacant since it closed in 2008. Before the 2.7-acre site was a Suzuki dealership, it was a Volkswagen dealership.

“We’re happy to be doing something with this parcel in St. Louis Park,” said Linda McGinty, Luther’s director of real estate and development. “We know that it’s been stagnant for a little bit now—a little bit too long. So we are just ecstatic at the prospect of bringing Fiat here.”
