The Sutton Auto Team recently opened their first Minnesota dealership, Rapids Honda. After successfully working with the Ford, Lincoln and Honda brands in suburban Chicago and in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the dealer group is now selling and servicing Hondas at its Coon Rapids store.

Dealer Principal Nate Sutton graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in Engineering. He also attended Ford Motor Company's Dealer Academy. A 25-year veteran of the automotive industry, he started his business on Chicago's south side. His unique combination of engineering skills and entrepreneurial spirit have served him well as he continues to grow his family business.

Sutton's General Manager in the new dealership, Roy Lacey, has decades of automotive experience in each of the aforementioned locations. An advocate for employees, customers and autos, Lacey's operational expertise helps bring Sutton's dreams to life.

Mr. Sutton said, "Roy is like family in the truest sense of the word. Our dealership's stay connected via our family roots and through Roy's efforts. We will continue our traditions of excellence in customer service and product support as we continue to grow."
