No, Jimmy was referring to the radio jingle they used to run. It was catchy.
I bought 2 there in the past. We stopped in there a week before they announced the closing to see about a 4dr JK and they didn't have near the inventory they normally did. I asked about the low levels and was told it was because Chrysler had slowed down production and they didn't want to put a lot of stock on the floor.
I haven't been down there since, but I heard from a friend of Don who ran Heritage and they were trying to decide if they could just let several employees go and just run skeleton crews at both Heritage and Ozark Dodge and keep them both open. The only reason they opened Heritage was because Jeep said the Ozark Dodge location was too close to Springfield Jeep on Glenstone. Now that they moved that to Youngblood maybe Chrysler is relaxing that rule and they will move the Chrysler/ Jeep dealership to the Dodge lot.
KY3 had differing reports early on. One report said only Heritage was closing, then the next day they said both were closing. Rufus Church death/murder/suicide leading up to the announcement lays a dark shadow upon the dealerships.
