Auffenberg Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge will purchase Union County Motors, a Jonesboro, Ill., auto dealership that handles Chrysler, Plymouth and Dodge products, along with Jeep.
"They have the same products that we have at Cape Girardeau," said Rex Probis, who will serve as general manager of both stores, in Auffenberg Auto Park and at Jonesboro.
The Jonesboro operation is operating as Union County Motors, managed by Auffenberg Chrysler of Anna, under a management contract.
The Jonesboro operation will be moved to Anna in the future.
"We'll be looking at property in Anna and could be in a new building there by next spring," said Probis.
Auffenberg came to Cape Girardeau in 1989 when it acquired Town & Country Motors in the new Cape Girardeau Autopark, a new and used car complex.
