Big news, ChumCity! Lee Edwards, the man at the helm of Edwards Chevrolet, is in the running for the 2026 TIME Dealer of the Year award! This is huge – it's one of the auto world's most respected accolades. Out of all the dealerships nationwide, Lee is one of only 47 nominees! He'll be honored at the National Automobile Dealers Association Show in Vegas come February 2026. Representing the Automobile Dealers Association of Alabama, Inc., Lee is shining a spotlight on our state! Edwards Chevrolet isn't just any dealership; it's been a Birmingham institution since 1916. Lee, after almost 40 years in the family biz, now leads a team of over 150 folks. His secret? Valuing his employees. "I grew up working every summer at the dealership," Edwards shared. "Those experiences gave me a deep respect for every job…and a commitment to making sure our employees always feel valued." Under Lee’s leadership, Edwards Chevrolet has expanded with some serious upgrades, including a top-notch GM parts operation and a thriving commercial truck division. But it's not all about business; the dealership actively gives back, donating upwards of $50,000 annually to local charities. Their decades-long support of Children’s Hospital of Alabama is truly inspiring! Remember that cybersecurity scare in 2024? Lee’s team handled it like pros, reverting to old-school paper systems and trusting our community. Talk about resilience! Congratulations to Lee, his wife Jenny, and their two children who are now part of the fourth generation keeping the family legacy alive! We're all rooting for you, Lee!Local Dealer Honored with Prestigious Nomination!
