“The time has finally come to have Ziebart in Florida, and we are very excited for this new location to share Ziebart’s passion for vehicles with all of Fort Myers”, Jason Theisen, Vice President, Franchise Operations.
“The process of becoming a licensed Ziebart dealer starts with your family. Making a decision to own a business that is right for the family’s goals comes first. From there, you make sure the market timing is right. No matter where you live in the US, our business model will adapt to your market environment. Once you have agreed to own a business, your Ziebart Franchise Representative will guide you all the way to ownership”, said Michael Riley, Senior Vice President, Franchise Development.
The Grand Opening festivities continued the following day inviting the community to tour the beautiful new store and learn more about the detailing, films and protection services that help keep and restore the new car feeling Ziebart is known for throughout the world.

The community enjoyed Jet’s Pizza and a Paradise Smoothie truck while 96k Rock broadcasted from the Fort Myers Ziebart location. There were opportunities to spin a prize wheel for gift certificates and enter a raffle to win a free Diamond Gloss® Paint Protection. Anyone who scheduled a service that day also received 15% off.
