Plans Continue to Expand Local Infiniti Dealerships

[Editor's note: this story originally appeared on Hinsdale-Clarendon Hills Patch in March. I'm running this story with some additional information, in bold, for those who have inquired on the dealership's next steps.]

The Korallus family, which owns the Infiniti Dealership in Lisle, is expanding its operation as part of its 50th anniversary.

A 4.5-acre property at 415 Ogden Avenue will be the site of a new Infiniti dealership in Clarendon Hills later this year. There are currently five buildings on the property that is earmarked for the dealership. One of the buildings is the former Mayflower Hotel.

"I believe there is no better way to celebrate our family's 50th year in the automotive business than by breaking ground on our new Infiniti dealership," said Peter Korallus.

Dealership manager Steve Camp said that the Clarendon Hills site is considered an additional facility, and the Lisle location will continue to operate. The Clarendon Hills dealership will be stocked with brand new merchandise, and Camp is currently in the process of hiring roughly 60 sales, clerical and service positions.

Upon completion, the dealership will consist of a 48,500-square-foot building, with a 20-bay service department and a car wash with built-in water reclamation systems that filter and reuse water.

 The new facility also will include a business lounge with multiple flat screen televisions, dedicated computer areas with secure wifi and a sales boutique, which will feature Infiniti clothing and accessories.

The Korallus family has been members of the Chicagoland automotive community since 1961. The family's dealer group includes: Infiniti of Lisle, Honda of Lisle, Volvo of Lisle, Honda of Joliet, The Used Car Superstore and Lisle Auto plaza Bodywerks.
