Hattiesburg’s only luxury import car dealer and Mississippi’s only Genesis dealership, Genesis of Hattiesburg, hosted their grand opening on Sept. 17, 2024. Customers and the community, including the Area Development Partnership, came out to celebrate the momentous occasion. Local musician, Charles Carter, One-Man Show, entertained guests with smooth jazz music as they wandered through the new state-of-the-art dealership, conversed and enjoyed refreshments. Mack Grubbs has been in the business since 1982, and Terri, his daughter, is carrying the family legacy forward. Mack has represented all the domestic brands and became a Hyundai dealer in 2005. For the past 20 years, they have been running Mack Grubbs Hyundai. The first Genesis were models sold under the Hyundai brand. When the decision was made to make Genesis its own brand in 2018, dealers nationwide were given the option to become a standalone dealership or an adaptive facility, having two separate showrooms on the same property. The Grubbs family chose to become an adaptive facility, and because there was not enough room at the Hyundai location, a new piece of property was secured about a half mile up the road. Construction began, and slowly but surely, the Genesis block of business was transitioned to its new location. A GRAND OPENING for Genesis of Hattiesburg 14
