Kia Ireland has added a new outlet to its 35-strong nationwide dealer network; John Keane & Sons in Roscommon has now officially joined the Kia family.
Where is the new Kia dealership?
John Keane & Sons is based on Lanesboro Street in Roscommon Town, and this family-owned business has been up and running since 1974. It currently employs 20 people, and the new dealership will be officially known as John Keane Kia.
What's the official word from Kia on this?
Welcoming the appointment, Ronan Flood, Managing Director, Kia Ireland, said: "We are delighted that John Keane Kia have taken on our franchise at such an exciting time for the brand. As a brand, Kia are now firmly established as a top five manufacturer in the country. Before this appointment, we had no Roscommon dealer and Keanes have a very loyal customer base from their many years in business, so we are excited to now showcase our product to their customers. We look forward to working with all the team in John Keane Kia going forward.”
And what did the guys at Keane's say?
John Keane, Dealer Principal at John Keane Kia, said: "We are in business over 50 years, we have a fantastic team here in Roscommon and wonderful customers. As part of this new partnership, we will continue to deliver our unrivalled customer support that people have come to expect from us over the years. We are nearing completion on our new state of the art workshop extension and will soon be investing in our showroom to meet the new Kia Global Store concept standards. We look forward with excitement to sharing these updates with our customers and to be representing Kia in Roscommon into the future.”
