Urban Business Roundtable Spotlight on Auto Dealership Mogul Gregory Jackson

Written by Black Enterpise Magazine

On The Urban Business Roundtable, Dywaine Betts Jr., speaks with Gregory Jackson, St. Clair Shores, Michigan-based Prestige Automotive Group,  one of the nation’s largest Black-owned businesses, ranked at No. 3 on the 2013 Black Enterprise 100s Auto Dealers list with $436 million in annual revenues.

Jackson launched Prestige Automotive in 1993. Today, the business is comprised of three dealerships, including Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and Scion. Before the Great Recession and the corresponding shake-up of the automotive industry, Jackson, also president and CEO of Jackson Automotive Management, became the first African American auto dealer and only the fourth Black-owned company to generate $1 billion in annual revenues. He’s also earned the coveted Mercedes-Benz Best of the Best Award, as well as being named a BE 100s Auto Dealer of the Year by Black Enterprise.
