In March 1985, Cedric Theel was a GM dealer in Bottineau. He moved to Bismarck when he bought a Dodge dealership. Today he is celebrating 25 years in the Bismarck-Mandan area.
Theel and his family hosted an open house anniversary event at the dealership Wednesday afternoon. He says he`s proud to include his family in the business. His son Justin is General Manager. Cedric Theel says even though technology has changed over the years, some things have remained the same, including a hard-working staff and loyal customers.
"Forty-two years later, I`m still learning a lot and trying to grow with the business to stay with the business and having my son come and join me in the business has been fun. So I`ve been able to phase out and still keep my fingers in it, just a little," he said.
There were refreshments and prizes for guests and customers.
