CYPRESS, Calif. – Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA), the fastest-growing Asian brand in the U.S. for the second consecutive year*, today announced the grand opening of the newest addition to its North American dealer network – Johnny Legends Mitsubishi in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Johnny Legends Mitsubishi joins the MMNA dealer network as the premier facility serving the greater Las Vegas Valley, and supports MMNA's ongoing goal to grow its dealer network into urban and rural markets. The new dealership also increases the visibility and awareness of the Mitsubishi brand as it continues to reinvent itself in the U.S.

"We are excited to welcome Johnny Legends Mitsubishi and join the growing network of Mitsubishi Motors dealers in the U.S.," said Pete Urso, dealer principal, Johnny Legends Mitsubishi. "We are proud to introduce the stylish and dynamic Mitsubishi lineup to the residents of the Las Vegas Valley, and will continue our tradition of offering the highest level of customer service to our valued clients."

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. The company chose Franklin to take advantage of the area's business-friendly culture and deep pool of skilled workers as it recruits for more than 150 open positions across all departments.

Over the past 18 months, MMNA added 34 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 established operations based in New Jersey and Texas.

"We're continuing to expand our footprint and introduce our brand to new customers across the country, and the addition of Johnny Legends Mitsubishi is a critical step in that process," said Kiran Udeshai, director, western region, MMNA. "As we add new partners in markets, we continue to work diligently toward improving the shopping and ownership experience for customers across our entire North American dealer network."

Johnny Legends Mitsubishi is located at 6165 S. Decatur Blvd., Las Vegas, Nevada, 89118 and can be reached by telephone at 702-778-2600.
