Joe Hudson’s Collision Center expanded its footprint with the acquisition of five facilities across Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and Georgia, in a move to meet customer demand for high-quality collision repairs in key regional markets.
The newly acquired facilities include First Class Collision in Grove, OK; Advanced Auto Body Frame and Glass in Bolivar, MO; Jim Morey Auto Body in Bella Vista, AR; and Brooks Body Shop and Port City Auto Body in Georgia.
“Our focus on expanding market presence through strategic acquisitions is integral to our long-term growth strategy,” said Brant Wilson, CEO of Joe Hudson’s Collision Center. “As demand surges in our existing markets, it is vital that we enhance our capabilities to meet customer expectations. Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and Georgia represent vibrant markets with significant potential, and we are dedicated to strengthening our presence in these areas.”
“We are delighted to welcome these remarkable facilities into the Joe Hudson’s family,” said Cameron Dickson, COO. “First Class Collision in Grove represents our seventh location in Oklahoma, and Advanced Auto Body Frame and Glass marks our fourth in Missouri. Both of these shops have built stellar reputations for delivering quality repairs and exceptional customer service.
“Arkansas has always been a strategic market for us, and we are thrilled to add the renowned Jim Morey Auto Body to our network,” Dickson said. “Moreover, the addition of Brooks Body Shop and Port City Auto Body in Georgia expands our statewide footprint to 14 locations, reinforcing our commitment to serving this dynamic market.”
“As we bring these new locations into the fold, we are committed to providing our new team members with robust support and growth opportunities,” said Wendy Patrick, chief administrative officer. “Our goal is to ensure that each team member thrives at Joe Hudson’s while also guaranteeing that our customers continue to receive the highest level of service throughout this multi-shop integration process and beyond.”
