The Wolf family has thrown in the towel on its Chevrolet dealership at 5350 N. Keystone Ave.
One of the owners, Andy Wolf, says the closing was forced because property tax increases shocked customers into pulling back from spending. Another reason is that people still think Detroit puts out bad cars.
However, letâ??s recall that Payton Wells Chevrolet, which was just north of downtown, went out of business a few months earlier, and Eric Dickerson closed his Buick dealership a year earlier. Dickerson was at 7250 N. Keystone several blocks north of Wolf.
Is it coincidence that these three dealerships dealt in General Motors products? Or that they were located in older areas of the city?

If I am not mistaken, GM is also trying to consolidate stand alone Buick, Pontiac and GMC dealerships.
Commodities are sold cheapest @ volume.
Also Bud Wolf did ZERO advertising as noted above, so what did they expect?
Venu? Lmfao. you didn;t sign a lease with them yet, did you? :)
You may be speaking too soon on the Venu project. A large amount of bids have been let and have already been seen online. Large orders for HVAC and Air handler units with one particular company. I think its a go.
