VanDevere Cadillac – Grand Opening

The VanDevere Bunch Got a Little Bit Bigger!

On June 24, 2024, the VanDevere’s came across an opportunity to grow the family business by adding the Cadillac store. The location is down the street from our Buick and Kia buildings at the address 111 W. Market St. Akron, OH 44303. It is also in front of the VanDevere’s alma mater, St. Vincent-St. Mary’s High School.

The Cadillac store was previously owned by the Dave Towell family. They appreciate the fact that it is in the hands of another reputable, family owned business.

Pictured are some of the VanDevere sons and son-in-law that are going to help build the business and grow in the VanDevere core values. Some of the Towell’s employees continue to work in the new building with some VanDevere employees moving in also. There are still opportunities to add more members to our team. Check out Indeed for new job if you are interested. Stop in and see some familiar and new faces today! If you are looking for a new Cadillac or a pre-owned vehicle, then please visit the new site VanDevereCadillac.com. The VanDevere’s are excited for what is to come with the purchase of the new location and the chance to grow in the Akron community. Our team is always here for you!

Employee Cornhole Tournament

☀️Fun days on sunny days at VanDevere☀️

Our team put together an all department Cornhole Tournament to raise money for this months charity, Summit County Children’s Services. In addition to paying to play, our team was also able to support by dressing in their nice pair of jeans and Hawaiian shirts. Each employee enjoyed burgers from Menches Brothers food truck. We appreciated them coming out and feeding our team a great lunch.

As far as the Cornhole Tournament goes, it was a close call with our final two teams being Colten Emerick and Kyle Ries vs. Cody Seeberger and Isaiah Hayes. Ultimately, Colten and Kyle were the Cornhole Champions of the day!

Employee Spotlight: Josh Lemasters

Here we are again, sitting down with one of our team members to learn more about
them. We love learning about our team! This month we are talking to Josh Lemasters, a
sales consultant for our Outlet location. Josh has been with the company for over 3
years now. We sat down and gave Josh our usual “spotlight” questions and here is what
we learned…

VanDevere: Hi Josh, thank you for taking the time to sit with us. We will start off easy…
What is the best thing about your job?
Josh: I never dread coming to work

VDV: It is truly a blessing to find work that does not quite feel like work. We are just here to help
customers, the Akron community and have fun with the team! What is the best thing about
VanDevere?
Josh: They actively care about their employees.

VDV: I agree. Everyone asks how they are and how they can help. The VanDevere team just
wants each individual to feel welcomed and that they have the opportunity to grow here. In
three words, how would you best describe VanDevere?

Josh: Honest, Helpful and Fair

VDV: All great ways to describe the character of the company. What do you like to do
when you are not at work?

Josh: video games, hiking, hanging out with friends and girlfriend. I also enjoy going to music
festivals when they are in town.
VDV: All great activities! Music Festivals are great ways to have fun with friends and family.
What inspires you?

Josh: Being able to buy a nice place someday and have enough money to support my family
someday.
VDV: It’s a goal I think we all mutually share and strive for. Our families are so important
and want to be sure that they live the best possible life. Fill in the blank… I once met….
Josh: Willie Nelson!

VDV: How fun! Seeing him in concert would be a great time. That could be one of your
next festival trips! Speaking of travel, where is your favorite place to go?

Josh: Anywhere a cruise can take me!
VDV: I have never been on a cruise! I have always heard they are a great time and a
perfect way to see different parts of the world in a short period of time. Now, do you
have a favorite place to eat?
Josh: Toko! It is a sushi spot in Kent.

VDV: I love sushi! I will have to try that one out. There are a lot of great places to go in
Akron as well. Do you have a dream car?
Josh: I would like to drive a 2024 Chevy Trax

VDV: Awesome vehicle! Good thing VanDevere has a Chevy store to purchase your
dream car at! A big thank you to you, Josh, for taking the time to talk with us today. We
appreciate your hard work over the past 3 years of employment with The Vandevere
Bunch!
