Groupe Amis Juniors Announces the acquisition of Arnold GM, strengthening its presence in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean and expanding vehicle offerings

Saguenay, October 30, 2024 – Groupe Amis Juniors is proud to announce the acquisition of Arnold GM, thereby consolidating its presence in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. Through this strategic acquisition, Groupe Amis Juniors expands its customer base in the area and strengthens its ability to meet the diverse needs of local consumers. By acquiring this General Motors dealership, Groupe Amis Juniors enters familiar territory.

“After the successful acquisitions of Sept-Îles GM and Baie-Comeau GM over the past three years, it became essential for us to add the Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac vehicle lineup to our service offering for our clients in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean,” stated Jean-Bernard Tremblay, President of the group.

The integration of Arnold GM allows Groupe Amis Juniors to expand its vehicle offerings, with a special focus on two key segments: trucks and electric vehicles. These two categories are major pillars of the group’s growth strategy, aimed at meeting client expectations for performance, sustainability, and reducing environmental impact. “This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Groupe Amis Juniors, and we are thrilled to offer an even broader range of vehicles to our customers, particularly in the truck and electric vehicle segments,” declared Jean-Bernard Tremblay. “Our priority is to expand our network to provide residents of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean with mobility solutions that align with market trends and customer needs.”

By adding Arnold GM to its family, Groupe Amis Juniors reaffirms its commitment to the region and its desire to innovate within the automotive industry, particularly in the rapidly growing electric vehicle sector. This acquisition serves as a strategic lever to address sustainability challenges while enhancing customer service.

Groupe Amis Juniors would like to thank the Tremblay family (Valérie and Maxime) for the trust they have placed in the group, allowing them to take over operations and write a new chapter in the history of the family business, which has endured since 1979.
