ALM Automotive Group announced the acquisition of Genesis of Macon, a premier luxury automotive dealership serving Middle Georgia. The transaction, finalized in December 2025, marks a significant milestone in ALM’s strategic expansion across the Southeast and reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering exceptional automotive experiences to customers throughout the region.

The acquisition of Genesis of Macon was completed as part of a broader agreement in which ALM Cars purchased five dealerships, along with all associated real estate, from Five Star Automotive Group, a respected family-owned retailer headquartered in Macon. The Presidio Group, a leading advisor specializing in dealership mergers and acquisitions, represented Five Star Automotive in the transaction and facilitated the deal.

ALM Automotive Group Continues Rapid Growth Across the Southeast
Since opening its first pre-owned dealership in metro Atlanta in 2006, ALM Automotive Group has grown into one of the most dynamic and customer-focused dealership networks in the region. Over the past 18 years, the company has expanded to 24 locations across Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. With this acquisition, ALM now operates 18 franchised dealerships and six standalone pre-owned stores, offering customers access to more than 8,000 vehicles from over 30 manufacturers.

“We are excited to welcome the Genesis dealerships and their dedicated staff into the Group,” said Khush Bhatia, CEO of ALM Automotive Group. “The Macon and Warner Robins markets fit perfectly into ALM’s footprint, and adding more franchised new‑vehicle dealerships is a strategic growth play for ALM. We look forward to serving Middle Georgia with the same commitment to transparency, value, and customer care that has defined our brand for nearly two decades.”

The acquisition strengthens ALM’s presence in a rapidly growing region. Central Georgia continues to attract new residents and businesses, creating increased demand for reliable automotive sales and service options. By expanding into Macon and surrounding communities, ALM is positioned to meet this demand with a broader selection of vehicles and a customer-first approach.
