| Description
Valley Automall is the first auto mall in the State of
Nevada, as well as one of the largest automotive retailing
centers in North America. These state-of-the-art auto
malls account for nearly 10 percent of North American
vehicle volume annually (approximately one million new
vehicles each year).
The 185-acre site houses 16 dealerships offering 24 brands.
The site is ideally located with convenient freeway access
at US Hwy 95 and Auto Show Drive, or at Interstate 215
and Gibson Road.
Economic Impact
As one of the largest commercial development projects
in the history of Henderson, Valley Automall, has provided
more than 4000 jobs to the Las Vegas Valley, with annual
shared operating costs projected at $1.8 million. Generating
close to a billion dollars in revenue each year, the Valley
Automall contributes millions to Southern Nevada’s
already thriving economy.
First of its Kind in Nevada
Although new to Southern Nevada, auto malls are not new
to the rest of the country. The first auto malls opened
in California in 1980 and this concept has been redefined
by progressive automotive dealers in all parts of North
America. Today there are almost 2,090 auto malls in Canada
and the United States.
J.D. Power & Associates have four criteria for a successful
auto mall venture: location, accessibility, visibility,
and convenience. By pooling resources, dealers are be
able to offer customers more amenities and better services
than might otherwise be possible in a single dealership.
Finally, by sharing facilities and expenses each dealer
is able to maintain lower operating costs. The study concluded,
“If auto malls were not in existence, consumers
would demand their creation. Auto Malls are here to stay
and will continue to grow in importance in the automotive
retailing scene.” |
