"The state-of-the-art building combines the efficiency, performance and German opulence synonymous with the Audi brand, to simulate a luxury vehicle and enhance the exclusive Audi customer experience,stated Jack Hanania, Dealer Principal." "It is the duty of any entrepreneur to strengthen both the politics and economics of the community that has provided them with such great opportunity." He went on to say, "Involvement of this nature not only provides a chance to give back, but also enrich our own probability for continued success. Which is why we are proud to state that Audi Jacksonville was fully constructed using locally owned and operated companies."
