Greater Rockford Auto Auction Breaks Ground on Office Expansion

The Greater Rockford Auto Auction (GRAA), an independent auto auction in Illinois, recently broke ground on an office expansion to better serve its dealers.

The 3,000 square foot addition will include expanded office space, a new dealer work area, a larger conference room and a video production room, the auction said. GRAA expects the project to be complete in early 2021.

“The office expansion is the latest in a series of investments that we made over the last five years - a new reconditioning facility, a new on-site mechanical facility, completely revamped auction lanes and a significant physical investment in dealer safety,” said Ryan Clark, president of GRAA. “As the wholesale marketplace continues to evolve, GRAA plans to continue to invest to give our customers and employees the best auction experience in the market.”

GRAA will complete this expansion in advance of a number of promotions and events planned for 2021 which will be announced over the coming months.

“The additional space supports our growth in our existing business lines, particularly the online space, and also provides infrastructure for our upcoming advancement initiatives as we continue our growth strategy,” said Chad Anderson, general manager. “We are blessed to have a great team at GRAA that embraces taking the organization to the next level and providing the best possible customer service and opportunities for our client base.”
