Growing Southwest Fort Worth, Texas, Dealership Sold; Family Ownership Retires A new era begins for Granbury Motorsports as Powersports Listings Mergers & Acquisitions helps Mitch and Maureen Milson sell to auto industry entrepreneurs Mike Kolb and Ben Lange.

GRANBURY, Texas, November 12, 2018 (Newswire.com) -  Located approximately 35 miles southwest of Fort Worth, Texas, just off US Hwy 377, Granbury Motorsports began life as a single-line Kawasaki dealership many years ago, with Mitch and Maureen Milson taking possession in 1991 after a career in corporate positions. Their ownership brought new excitement into the dealership and it wasn’t long before a succession of additional lines were added to supplement the Kawasaki line, including Polaris, BRP and Yamaha.  Mitch and Maureen continued to conduct business the old-fashioned way, like bike shops in the early days, with a fun, low-pressure atmosphere, taking time to speak to a customer about the fun and practical sides of the products offered, even as revenue grew exponentially. The Milsons grew to a staff of 15 employees with an extensive selection of parts and accessories, an award-winning service department and sales of over 450 vehicles (new and used) per year.  Mitch and Maureen

GEORGETOWN, Texas, October 19, 2018 (Newswire.com) -  Central Texas Powersports (CTP) was organized by Steve Littlefield, an industry veteran of five decades, along with his wife Teresa. Steve grew up in Wichita Falls, Texas, and started his career washing dishes at a local BBQ restaurant. He became interested in motorcycles and purchased his first bike, a ‘66 Honda S90. When Steve was not in school or washing dishes, he was hanging out at the local Honda dealership begging for a job. In 1966, when he was just 16 years old, he was finally given the opportunity to take an ICT (Industrial Cooperative Training) class through his high school at a local Honda dealership to learn about the motorcycle mechanic trade. After graduation, he worked for another small dealership in the area from 1968-1981 as a motorcycle technician. In 1981, Steve opened his first motorcycle store, which offered parts and accessories along with service. The store continued to do business for 10 years. In 1990,

Powersports Listings M&A Announces the Sale of 47 Year Running Greater Philadelphia Honda-Can-Am-Sea-Doo-Spyder Powersports / Motorcycle Dealership

BENSALEM, Pa., July 17, 2018 (Newswire.com) -  East Coast Cycle Center, Inc. (ECCC), was organized in 1971 and was owned and operated exclusively by Mr. Walter (Walt) J. Young. The business began operations in a 4000 sq. Ft. leased building at 1400 Street Road, Bensalem, PA, which Walt subsequently purchased, and then expanded through the years. Walt added additional product lines, and after obtaining a state inspection license, opened a new and larger state inspection service center. This period represented the foundation of the business, as Mr. Young continued to focus on customer service through the sales, servicing, and parts support of all lines of motorcycles.  As a result of a ramped up professional employee base through the seventies, ECCC outgrew its facilities and required a relocation. In 1979, after researching property in the area, Walt purchased a former post office not far from the original facility. After conceptualizing the design with architects and engineers, the
