Area welcomes new GM dealer to Corinth By Jebb Johnston Daily Corinthian Staff Writer
After several years of keeping his eye on Corinth, veteran auto dealer Frankie Blackmon finally made his move. The owner of Frankie Blackmon Chevrolet in Tupelo since 1985 is now also owner of the former Premier Automotive on U.S. Highway 72 West. The dealership had only about a week of down time between owners. “I’ve in the last few years noticed that Corinth seems to be growing,” said Blackmon. “It seems to be a good market to be in. We’re just excited to be a part of Corinth.” Blackmon said the dealership -- his first expansion outside of Tupelo -- will continue to offer the five GM lines. The staff will be a mix of Premier holdovers and employees coming from Blackmon’s former Buick lot. While his son runs the Chevrolet store in Tupelo, Blackmon said his daughter and son-in-law will be heavily involved in running the Corinth store. Originally from Meridian, Blackmon in 1995 acquired the Buick-Olds-Isuzu dealership, which remained under his ownership until the current transition. Blackmon has since 2003 owned a Hyundai-Mazda dealership which is relocating to the former Buick location at Barnes Crossing.

Tupelo based GM franchise expands By Lena Mitchell Daily Journal Corinth Bureau
Corinth – A well-established name in automotive sales joins the Corinth marketplace when a Frankie Blackmon franchise opens Monday. The company has been in Tupelo since 1985, and is making its first expansion into another market. "We feel like Corinth is a growing area with lots of development,: Blackmon said. "It’s a central community and we feel like the market will be good for us." Blackmon purchased the GM dealership previously known as Premier Automotive, which has five lines of General Motors vehicles: Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac and GMC. In Tupelo, Blackmon began with a Chevrolet dealership, but has expanded to include a Buick dealership and a Hyundai-Mazda dealership. "We’re consolidating and realigning a bit in Tupelo," Blackmon said. "We’re selling the Buick dealership and moving Hyundai-Mazda to the Barnes Crossing location (in Tupelo)." Not only will the expansion be good for Corinth, said Mayor Jerry Latch. "We know they have a very successful and long-running business," Latch said. "Their presence in Corinth will be another boost to our local economy as they continuse to grow, and we’re glad to have them here." In 2005 Blackmon received the Time Magazine Quality Dealer Award for his efforts in business and his work in the community. Several key personnel from Tupelo will run the Corinth store initially, Blackmon said. "We will continue to offer excellent service, and in fact are expanding out service, at the Frankie Blackmon Chevrolet store in Tupelo," Blackmon said.
