CAUSEWAY HYUNDAI IS ON THE MOVE!
Manahawkin- It has been a year and a half since the Causeway Family adopted its newest family member Hyundai. With the addition came a very large building with a very small parking lot and many other inadequacies. To resolve these problems a few possibilities were laid on the table. One was to build a new building on 72 next to Lucille’s Candy, that lot was not ideal though. The next idea was to take the building between Causeway Ford and Causeway Nissan, and possibly renovate it for Hyundai’s new home. We knew that Hyundai Corporate would have very specific requirements for the building design and overall appearance. That meant meeting after meeting to get approvals from Hyundai and of course Stafford Township too. After several months of back and forth Causeway received approvals from Hyundai and Stafford Township as well. The building at 405 Rt 72, that was home to Suzuki, “Luxury Imports”, “SureSale Certified”, and “CarSmart Certified”, will officially be the new home for Causeway Hyundai! This current structure will need to be demolished to make room for the completely new and modern Hyundai approved design. The benefits of having the Hyundai store on the same “Campus” as the other Causeway stores will be many. For one, it will create an “Auto Mall” shopping experience for all of our current and future customers. The new modern facility will provide Hyundai shoppers and owners with a first class Hyundai experience. Upgrades on the logistical front will be having all Hyundai inventory in one place. Rather than having to drive 2 miles down 72 to find the right Hyundai.
MOVING SALE STARTS NOW!

Now then you might be asking when does this exciting event actually happen? Well with any large project “stuff ” happens. Unexpected issues with utilities, delays in planning board meetings etc., etc., etc. That being said we are closer now than we have ever been. The plan remains that Causeway Hyundai will move into its new home by October of this calendar year! Stay tuned for updates on the destruction and construction!
