I'll never forget when Holmes Honda was located in the big square building on Shreveport/Barksdale Highway... I took out a row of hedges trying to back up in a station vehicle out front. Opps!

Since then, the Holmes Auto Group moved to the Shreveport Auto Mall on Bert Kouns in Shreveport. Since then, they've grown to represent Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Land Rover and Jaguar.

Because of their success in Shreveport, Holmes Auto Group is now expanding to Bossier City on 5.2 acres with a 34,665 square foot dealership. Clearly, Holmes is going big and they should be. Bossier City is the sixth largest city in Louisiana and the fastest growing area in the state.

The new dealership will be just north of I-220 in between Swan Lake Road and Airline Drive and they will break ground on the project Monday, June 12 at 11am. The ground breaking ceremony will be on Innovation Drive off of Swan Lake Road at I-220.

The Holmes dealership is projected to employee 50 at the onset.
