Group 1 Automotive Rebrands Shreveport Dealerships

The rebranding, which took effect on August 19, 2025, aligns the facility with the company's broader corporate identity. While the store now operates as Group 1 Ford of Shreveport and Group 1 Lincoln of Shreveport, the transition is administrative rather than structural. According to General Manager Chris Magill, the move provides a clearer connection to the parent company’s international resources while preserving the community relationships developed over the past decade.

Group 1 Automotive, which manages a portfolio of 251 dealerships across the U.S. and the U.K., intends for this consistency to simplify the customer experience across its footprint. The Shreveport location continues to serve the Ark-La-Tex region, including Bossier City, with its full suite of sales, maintenance, and collision services. Ownership and management remain unchanged, ensuring that current service agreements and long-standing client commitments remain intact under the new banner.
