Bev Smith Toyota, part of the Bev Smith Automotive Group’s
family of dealerships in South Florida, is celebrating a 25-year
milestone as one of area’s leading businesses and community
advocates. The family-owned enterprise serves Florida’s Treasure
Coast and its surrounding areas.
“It’s been an amazing 25 years, and our entire organization
is looking forward to the next 25 and beyond,” said Nick Smith,
president and CEO of Bev Smith Toyota. “Thanks to the Treasure
Coast communities, Southeast Toyota Distributors and all of our great
employees for making this all happen. We are greatly appreciative.”
A celebratory luncheon took place May 18 at the dealership, which
was presented with a crystal award from Toyota Motor North America
and plaque from Southeast Toyota Distributors, the world’s largest
independent distributor of Toyotas. Both awards represent Bev Smith’s
continuous improvement and the success of the Toyota brand during
the past 25 years.
A list of guests from Southeast Toyota Distributors included Hank
Grooms, group vice president; David Vincent, vice president of market
representation; Glenn Rizzo, director of market representation; and
Ray Natour, vice president of fixed operations.
In addition to providing excellent customer service, Bev Smith
Toyota lends a hand to the community by sponsoring the Marine
Corps Reserves Toys for Tots program, Fort Pierce Police Athletic
League, Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches and the Korean War and Korea
Defense Service Veterans Association. Bev Smith is also the title
sponsor of the Taste of the Sea & Sandy Shoes Seafood Festival.
“Since the opening of our first dealership, the Smith family has
been committed to enhancing the economy and the community in
general,” said Frank Gonzalez, vice president and general manager
of Bev Smith Toyota. “The long-standing success of our dealerships
not only ensures area families access to the world’s most iconic and
respected automotive brand, but also acts as an economic driver
while providing significant support to area charities and not-forprofits.”
