| Client Spotlight - Gus Johnson Ford |

Everyone knows Bill Gates is Microsoft, or Steve Jobs is Apple, or Warren Buffet is Berkshire Hathaway. Well, in Spokane everyone knows Gus Johnson Ford because of the real Gus Johnson, not an actor (as someone asked him once). Gus has been part of the Spokane auto market since 1986 when he was General Manager at Empire Ford. He purchased McCollum Ford in 1992, and changed the name to Gus Johnson Ford in 1998. He has been the spokesman for his company ever since. Gus Johnson Ford sits on 7 ½ acres on Sprague in the valley. He employs more than 80 employees, has 46 bays in the service department, and at any one time there are 170 new and 100 used vehicles on his lot. In these difficult economic times, Gus Johnson Ford has continued to prosper and grow. The facility underwent a $1.2 million dollar renovation this past year. Gus has been married to his wife Colleen for 44 years, and has two sons, and three grandchildren. Fidelity Associates has worked with Gus Johnson Ford for many years, providing expertise in medical benefits for its employees. We at Fidelity congratulate Gus Johnson Ford as a great local success story.
