“We are excited to add Audi Kirkwood to the Semersky family of Audi dealerships and bring our passion for Audi to another great city in the Midwest where we’ve been the leading Audi dealer for over 45 years,” shared Ernie Semersky, CEO of Semersky Enterprises. “We look forward to working with the Audi Kirkwood team and bringing our best-in-class client experience to the St. Louis marketplace.” Semersky Enterprises owns 3 Audi dealerships in the greater Chicago and St. Louis markets including one of the largest stores in the nation.
Kevin Nill of Haig Partners which represented the buyer, said, “We congratulate Ernie Semersky on his acquisition of Audi Kirkwood and the continued expansion of their Audi portfolio. While we normally represent sellers of dealerships, Semersky Enterprises wanted an advisor to help them identify the best fit for their growth strategy, help them analyze the opportunity, and negotiate the deal. We are grateful to Ernie and his team for placing their trust in us to help them meet their strategic objectives. This is another transaction demonstrating the confidence buyers have in the future of auto retail and the willingness to grow.”
