🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Amazing dealership
As Terranda and Festus Akinyinka prepared to cut the ribbon for their new auto dealership, children ran around with painted faces, over 250 people were fed, people danced through the lot and visitors toured the business, trying out the massage chairs and viewing cars.
Through love, faith and entrepreneurship, the couple opened their second auto dealership on Milwaukee’s North Side.
Festus Auto Sales had its grand opening on July 26 at 8730 N. 91st St. Since then, the owners have received plaques and awards from Gov. Tony Evers, Mayor Cavalier Johnson and other city officials for their accomplishments.
“We want people to know that this is a big corporation, where big business is done,” Terranda said.
The dealership, which sells SUVs, sedans, convertibles, trucks and other vehicle types, employs a diverse team of 14 who speak languages including French, Spanish, Edo, Yoruba and pidgin.
“We can serve more people, and our staff all live within our community,” she said.
