Fox Motors to open dealership in former Frei Chevrolet location

Fox Motors is opening a new Chevrolet dealership in the former Frei Chevrolet building.

A post on the company's website says Fox Marquette Chevrolet will open in March 2020.

The family-owned Frei Chevrolet dealership closed last year

after nearly 100 years of business. Fox Motors purchased the Frei building on US-41 in Marquette Township.

Fox Motors is hiring for several positions at the new dealership.

Fox Motors currently has its Fox Negaunee Chevrolet Buick GMC and its Fox Negaunee Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealerships on US-41 in Negaunee and its Fox Marquette Subaru dealership in Marquette Township, which is expanding. Fox has 50 total locations.
