Angevaare brothers retire, sell Mazda dealership to Stewart family
A big congratulations is in order for a big change in the local automotive dealer network. All three Angevaare brothers, Terry, Ben, and Rob recently retired after selling the local Mazda dealership to the Stewart family who own a range of automotive businesses including JJ Stewart Motors in Norwood, Peterborough Chrysler, Campbellford Chrysler and Peterborough Mitsubishi.
The Mazda dealership was started by Bert Angevaare around 1960 on Ashburnham Drive. The longest standing family owned Mazda dealership in Canada, the brothers went out on a high note, as Angevaare Mazda was awarded the Mazda Canada Dealer of Distinction for 2018, and one of their customers, Derek Weaver won the MSRP of his new Mazda 3!
Congratulations to the Angevaare and Stewart families.
