CYPRESS, Calif., – Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA), the fastest-growing Asian brand in the U.S. for the second consecutive year*, today welcomed the newest addition to its North American dealer network – RC Hill Mitsubishi – Ocala in Ocala, Florida.

RC Hill Mitsubishi - Ocala is the second exclusive Mitsubishi dealership owned by Robert "RC" Hill in central Florida, joining his premier dealership RC Hill Mitsubishi in DeLand, Florida, outside of the Orlando metro area. RC Hill Mitsubishi, which opened in 2003, was recognized by MMNA in 2019 for its annual "Best in Class" award for Dealership Service Satisfaction ranking among all Mitsubishi dealerships.

RC Hill Mitsubishi – Ocala is following in the footsteps of the first dealership in DeLand, and is focused on providing the best customer service experience and satisfaction levels for all customers at the new dealership. The store's keen focus on the shopping and ownership experience will help the dealership to grow its base of new and loyal customers throughout Florida and across the nation.

The opening of RC Hill Mitsubishi – Ocala further supports MMNA's continuing expansion of its dealer network into urban and rural markets where opportunities exist to further grow the brand.

"I am beyond excited to announce the opening of my second all-new Mitsubishi store in Ocala," said RC Hill, dealer principal, RC Hill Mitsubishi – Ocala. "We have a fantastic team of dedicated and trained staff on hand to help our customers find the best vehicle that suits their needs, and we are eager to help reintroduce and grow the Mitsubishi Motors brand across Marion County."

In June, MMNA announced it would relocate its U.S. headquarters from Cypress, California to Franklin, Tennessee by the end of 2019. The relocation is part of an ongoing effort to reinvent every aspect of the Mitsubishi Motors brand and business in the U.S., from corporate leadership to dealer partners to every touchpoint in a customer's relationship with their vehicle.

Over the past 18 months, MMNA added more than 40 new dealer partners while also expanding its national field operations network from two regions to four, adding new offices in Florida and California to reinforce sales support for dealers. The Florida and California teams joined already established operations based in New Jersey and Texas.

"We're continuing to build momentum with the addition of RC Hill Mitsubishi – Ocala to our growing dealership network," said Jimmy Scarboro, director, southeast region, MMNA. "As Mitsubishi Motors adds new dealer partners in critical markets, we lay the foundation to ensure growth and success for the brand while reinventing the shopping, purchase and ownership experiences for all of our customers."

RC Hill Mitsubishi – Ocala is located at 3550 S Pine Avenue, Ocala, FL 3447, and can be reached by telephone at 352-421-9100 or online at www. https://www.rchillmitsuocala.com/.
