The expansion of one Atlantic business has paved the way for the expansion of another: With Orscheln’s moving into larger facilities at the former K-Mart store, Wyman’s Auto currently located at 406 West Seventh Street will be moving to Orscheln’s location at 1310 East Seventh.
Josh Wyman explained that he hopes to be able to take possession of the new building in the next two months and begin the process of remodeling.
“We hope to finish the remodeling by the end of June,” he said.
At that time, Wyman’s Auto will no longer exist, he said, as the new location would be opening as a satellite of Wyman Ford of Griswold.
The new business would offer an expanded selection of used cars as well as new cars, Wyman said.
“We’ll have a lot more used cars on the lot, and we’ll carry new vehicles as well,” he said, adding that he was working with Ford to “set up a service shop,” at the new location, but noted that was likely to happen later this year.
The new location will include an indoor showroom, with the current building getting a complete remodel and a new faŤade.
He said the new location and move would be good for Wymans, giving them additional room, as well as room to add on if needed.
In the meantime he’s looking for a temporary location for Wyman’s Auto, as the West Seventh Street location is leased after the end of March.
Wyman said the business changes also included adding a new face.
“Ken Crane is going to start selling for us,” he said.
Wyman said that the expansion had been on the drawing board for some time.
“We’ve been trying to get into the town of Atlantic for about three years,” he said, “and it finally worked out.”
He said that just the right property had been hard to find, but the Orsheln’s expansion had been good for Wyman’s as well.
Wyman’s Auto has been selling used cars at the West Seventh Street location for about six years, he said, while the Wyman’s Ford dealership has been in Griswold for more than 35 years.
