After decades in auto retailing, Wally Darwish bought his first franchised dealership this spring as 100 percent owner. And he didn't start with just one store.
Darwish went from "zero to 19 franchises" in April, he said, after buying 10 franchised dealerships and two locations where dealerships closed, all in New York state, from Billy Fuccillo Jr. and Fuccillo Automotive Group.
And Darwish aims to keep buying stores for his Wally's Auto Group.
