The G1 Group is an investment firm established in Wichita, Kansas. Its portfolio spans automotive, entertainment, finance, real estate, sports, technology, and transportation, with the automotive sector as its primary focus. The name “G1,” meaning “first generation,” reflects the entrepreneurial background of the group’s founding partners. The organization employs more than 170 people and generates annual revenues exceeding $100 million.
Over the last 5 years, Performance Brokerage Services has advised on the sale of nearly 450 dealerships, making it the highest volume dealership brokerage firm in North America. Paul Kechnie, Senior Partner, Matt Willis, Managing Partner, and Jamie Farley, Partner, of the Texas & Midwest Offices for Performance Brokerage Services, were the exclusive sell-side advisors for this transaction.
Jamie Farley commented, “We were pleased to assist in facilitating the sale of Hyundai of Dodge City. Both parties approached the transaction with professionalism and a shared commitment to getting the deal across the finish line. It’s always rewarding to help connect motivated buyers and sellers and see a smooth closing come together. We wish Jason Dougherty and his team continued success as they grow their presence in the Southwest Kansas market.”
Legacy Auto Center is a family-owned and operated Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership located in Garden City, Kansas, now including Hyundai of Dodge City. Dealer Principal Jason Dougherty and his wife, Jennifer Dougherty, founded the business in 2010 as an independent used-vehicle dealership. In 2015, the Doughertys were awarded a Chrysler franchise, transitioning Legacy Auto Center into a Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership. With the acquisition of Hyundai of Dodge City, the dealership will further strengthen its position in the Southwest Kansas market and continue serving the local community.
The dealership supports several charitable initiatives and local organizations, including Operation Christmas Child through Samaritan’s Purse, Western Kansas Child Advocacy, Garden City Community College programs, the Key’s To Your Legacy truck giveaway, and the Leave A Legacy Foundation for breast cancer awareness.
Jason Dougherty, Dealer Principal at Legacy Auto Center, shared, “The G1 Group was fantastic to work with, and the entire transaction for Hyundai of Dodge City moved smoothly from start to finish. We’re grateful to Performance Brokerage Services for presenting us with a strong opportunity to grow our presence in the Southwest Kansas market. The process was professional and efficient, and we’re excited to continue expanding and building on this momentum.”
Hyundai of Dodge City will be renamed Legacy Hyundai of Southwest Kansas and will be relocated to Garden City, Kansas.
