NISSAN CANADA - On April 25, Allen Childs, President Nissan Canada Inc., Wendy Durward Director of Infiniti Canada, and the Luciani family gathered at an event to celebrate the official grand opening of the largest Infiniti dealership in North America. Located at 4000 Jean-Talon West in Montréal, the extensively renovated Infiniti Luciani facility spans an incredible 90,000 sq. ft. and contains a multitude of new features to carry the themes of luxury, technology and hospitality throughout the building.
The renovated Luciani Infiniti dealership, appropriately nicknamed, "Temple de l'automobile," adheres to the Infiniti Retail Environment Design Initiative (IREDI), a global design concept which features forms that are energetic and modern with an accent on natural materials and open lighting. The vastness of the facility, coupled with its modern design, render the dealership fit to accommodate special events of artistic nature, whether it be art exhibitions, or intimate concerts. In this regard, Luciani Infiniti's new complex truly embodies "inspired performance" and can bring this brand value to customers in a very distinct way.
Key features of the new Luciani facility include: two commodious showrooms, enclosed parking to accommodate 200 vehicles, 14 service bays, nine wash bays, a customer café-bistro with wireless internet access, advanced diagnostic and repair equipment, express service areas, and a 3,500 sq. ft. mezzanine.
The grand opening celebration also marked the arrival of model year 2013 vehicles, including the star of the evening, the all-new Infiniti JX luxury crossover
