Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Houston, owned by Landry's founder Tilman Fertitta, won Rolls-Royce’s 2020 Dealer of the Year for the Americas award.
The Roll-Royce dealership, which shares an owner with the National Basketball Association's Houston Rockets, was recognized at the virtual Rolls-Royce World Dealer Conference.
“For an award that usually goes to Miami, Los Angeles or New York, this proves Houston’s luxury market demands attention,” Tilman Fertitta, CEO of Fertitta Entertainment and owner of Post Oak Motor Cars, told CultureMap Houston. “This is a major accomplishment in the industry recognized by experts and consumers from around the world. Our city deserved this global recognition, and I couldn’t be more proud of my team."
The Gulf Coast's largest authorized Rolls-Royce dealership has been accepting cryptocurrency since its parent company, Post Oak Motors, began accepting bitcoin as payment for vehicle purchases in 2018. Despite limited economic activities globally due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rolls-Royce boutiques have been thriving, according to CultureMap Houston.
Earning a spot as Dealer of the Year for the Americas is not an easy task, according to Rolls-Royce CEO Martin Fritsches, as the dealerships are competing not only with those in the U.S., but also those in South America, Mexico and Canada. Over a third of Rolls-Royce’s total business worldwide comes from these countries, Paper City reported.
