But the newly buttressed White Family Companies will have a total of about 1,300 employees. The White family now owns 26 dealerships in Ohio, Kentucky, Wyoming and South Dakota. Last year, all the dealerships combined generated sales of more than $1.2 billion, the company said.
Tim White Sr., chairman of the White Family Companies, said in the release that one point of attraction for his business was that Sisk is also a multi-generational family owned company.
“It is not often you are able to combine such similar operations,” White said.
The Sisk Group is a third-generation family-owned business formed in 1931. According to a Kentucky newspaper, the Kentucky New Era, the Sisk company was founded by Gene Sisk and handed down to son Albert Sisk in the 1990s.
Wilson Sisk, son of Albert, purchased a Kentucky Nissan dealership, expanding the business in 2016, the newspaper said.
