Denny Hecker announces closings of six dealerships

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — One of Minnesota's largest car dealers is closing six of dealerships and selling three others, effective immediately. WCCO-TV reported that 400 employees of the Denny Hecker Automotive Group in the Twin Cities are going to be out of a job.

The Hecker Automotive group said the sour economy and the crisis in the auto industry are forcing its hand.
The dealerships that will be shut down today are the Blaine Bargain Lot, Forest Lake Chrysler Jeep Dodge Mitsubishi, Monticello Dodge Ford and Mercury, Rosedale Hyundai, Shakopee Chrysler Jeep Dodge, and Stillwater Ford Lincoln Mercury.

Hecker will continue to run seven car dealerships, six in Minnesota and one in Los Angeles.
