Jeep Grand Cherokee Sales High In June

Posted on by

The sales numbers for the month of June have come out and to many people’s surprise, they are still going strong for the industry. One of the best success stories to come out of the sales figures, however, is from Jeep.

According to the Associate Press the Jeep Grand Cherokee saw a great sales boost in the month. SUV’s have been under some scrutiny of late due to the high cost of gas in recent months. It’s made many in the industry wonder if dark days were ahead for the vehicles with new hybrids starting to take center stage. That doesn’t seem to be the case anymore with the Grand Cherokee having its best June sales since 2005. That’s a 38 percent increase this year.

The Grand Cherokee has always been a heavy fan favorite for the Jeep brand. Just last week, we wrote about the SUV getting a brand new variant in the form of the Jeep Grand Cherokee S Limited. There’s a reason why it’s the most awarded SUV ever and is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports.

Go online to the Bayside showroom to take a look at the famous SUV for yourself. To stay up to date on Jeep news and deals through the dealership, like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

Jeep Creating Over One Thousand New Jobs in Toledo

Posted on by

Across the country, Americans are starting to see the economy improving in tangible ways, and in Toledo, Ohio, Jeep is putting people back to work.

This week, WTVG, an ABC affiliate in Toledo, reported that unemployed residents were getting prepared for the Jeep expansion which will create more than a thousand new jobs in the area next year. The community is supporting prospective employees by helping them update their resumes and teaching them how to impress an employer in an interview. In particular, the One Village community has rallied for its residents by offering assistance in resume writing and teaching standard computer skills.

Beth Lewandowski, current Secretary of the Neighborhood Representatives on the United Village Council, explained why the community needs to prepare for new jobs, stating, “The job market has changed. The skills that people had when they first got employed out of high school have changed and we know that as a fact.” This early training will make these applicants better employees and create a smoother transition, especially if a prospective employee has been out of work for awhile.

With over a thousand new jobs in Toledo, Jeep is putting America back to work! Check out Jeep’s full line-up online here, and keep up with the latest from Jeep by liking Bayside on Facebook and following Bayside on Twitter.
