Haig Partners LLC served as the exclusive sell-side advisor on the sale of Bob Rohrman Subaru of Lafayette, and Rohrman Subaru of Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Zeigler Automotive Group, based out of Michigan.

Rohrman Automotive Group is ranked #58 on the 2023 Automotive News list of Top 150 Dealership Groups. Bob Rohrman Subaru of Lafayette, just north of Indianapolis, is located in the home of Subaru of America’s US factory as well as Purdue University, one of the nation’s premier engineering universities and member of the Big 10 conference. Rohrman Subaru of Fort Wayne is located in the second-largest city in Indiana. This transaction underscores the growth potential and desirability of the Subaru brand in the Midwest.

Ryan Rohrman, CEO of Rohrman Automotive Group, shared, “I have appreciated my relationship with Kevin Nill at Haig Partners as we continue to execute our strategic growth plan in the Midwest. He and his team were professional and confidential as we navigated this process. Kevin’s experience and relationships helped us find a motivated buyer. I’m sure we will cross paths again as we continue to expand our ownership in this growing market.”

Kevin Nill, Managing Director at Haig Partners, shared, “This sale underscores the continued demand for strategic acquisitions driven by motivated buyers looking for top-tier franchises in excellent markets. Subaru’s popularity and reputation for quality make it a highly sought-after franchise regardless of region. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Ryan and the entire team at Rohrman Auto Group on this successful sale. It was not an easy decision for them to divest these dealerships, and we’re proud to have represented such a quality organization.”
