Mark Wahlberg -- the actor, producer and businessman -- has opened his fifth dealership in Ohio, after acquiring Joe Firment Chevrolet and naming it Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet of Avon.
Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet of Avon, at 37995 Chester Road, is also the 15th store for the Feldman Automotive Group. Wahlberg acquired the Avon store with his business partner, Jay Feldman.
"Having five dealerships in Ohio gives us the opportunity to provide consumers with a consistent sales and service experience and a huge product inventory," Feldman told Cision PR Newswire. "We'll be able to provide our Ohio customers even more brand choices at the lowest prices with this new location."
The Avon store is equipped with 20 service bays and is located on 10.5 acres, according to Cision PR Newswire.
A grand opening celebration was held last week with special giveaways and free cheeseburgers from the Wahlburgers Food Truck. Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet and the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, which was established in 2001, are making a donation to Joel's Place for Children in honor of the grand opening. Joel's Place is a nonprofit based in Avon that provides grief support to children.
The other four Ohio dealerships are Mark Wahlberg Buick GMC (formerly Haydocy Buick GMC ), Mark Wahlberg Airstream & RV (formerly Haydocy Airstream & RV), Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet -- all three are located on West Broad Street --- and Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet of Worthington (formerly Jack Maxton Chevrolet).
