dream has come true with
the opening of the Galleria BMW
dealership at the busy intersection of I-10 and I-110 in D’Iberville.
A beautiful facility for the entire Mississippi
Gulf Coast, the dream became
a reality after years of working diligently with BMW and
the Mandal family. This 46,771-square-foot facility brings all the technology, luxury and performance associated with BMW and its global brand to
the area.
“We were blessed with a vision of what could happen on the I-10 and I-110 corridor. I’ve wanted to be a BMW Dealer since 1972; that’s when I started talking to them,” says founder Bobby Mandal, who worked tirelessly over the years to create and express his vision to those who would listen and could help facilitate this dream.
His son Bo Mandal reiterates the vision his father expresses, “The opportunities along the Gulf
Coast are endless and
that’s something our family recognized years ago.”
General Manager John Valletta states, “I remember staring right in the middle
of this intersection and all
the traffic that was driving
by and was overwhelmed with the potential. It is an opportunity for the people of the Gulf Coast to experience
a unique atmosphere through transparency and hospitality.”
