Three Lynch Rooftops Share One Mukwonago Campus
Family ownership at this scale looks a little different from a single corner lot. Lynch Chevrolet of Mukwonago sits at 280 E Wolf Run, directly alongside Lynch Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram at 282 E Wolf Run, with Lynch Ford of Mukwonago a short drive away on Main Street.
| Lynch Rooftop | Brands | Address |
|---|---|---|
| Lynch Chevrolet of Mukwonago | Chevrolet | 280 E Wolf Run, Mukwonago, WI 53149 |
| Lynch Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram | Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram | 282 E Wolf Run, Mukwonago, WI 53149 |
| Lynch Ford of Mukwonago | Ford | 1015 Main Street, Mukwonago, WI 53149 |
For a shopper, that means a family-owned store and a multi-brand selection are not mutually exclusive. The Chevrolet store carries Chevrolet, and the campus as a whole gives the family business the inventory depth and staffing of a much larger operation without the ownership changing hands.
