SANDPOINT — The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce has named Pierce Auto Center as its business of the month for their commitment to community-oriented giving.
Started by Jim and Debbie Pierce in 2014, Pierce Auto Center how has 22 employees, a fully equipped state-of-the-art service shop, a large selection of new and pre-owned vehicles, and an annual payroll of over a million dollars. They also serve as a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM dealership.
Jim and Debbie previously owned a dealership in Ronan, Mont., for over 20 years and were partners in a three-location multi-franchise dealership in Great Falls, Mont., the largest pre-owned car dealership in Montana at the time. When the Sagle dealership became available Jim and Debbie, their son Nick and his family made the move to Sandpoint and fell in love with the area.
They are very active in supporting the community by donating to area schools, 4-H, Bonner County Rodeo and the Bonner County Fair. They also support Sandpoint High School athletics, Sandpoint Strikers, Mystic Farm Wildlife Rescue, CHAFE 150, Festival of Trees, the Lions Club, Panhandle Animal Shelter, Boy Scouts of America, Kinderhaven and the Panhandle Alliance for Education.
