Gary Willingham

The River Falls Mazda dealership was opened last year by Gary Willingham, owner and operator of Mazda/Hyundai Hickory Hollow in Nashville, and Toyota of Gallatin, in Gallatin, Tenn., a Nashville suburb.

Willingham did not return a reporter's calls.

In a Business First story published when the dealership opened, Willingham said he expected to sell 800 to 1,000 new vehicles each year.

Craig, who would not give specific numbers, said his staff already has sold more vehicles than Willingham did all last year.
