I did an extensive search for the name of the owner of the Saturn of
Sunnyvale Dealership without any luck.
I then decided to make a direct inquiry to the Saturn of Sunnyvale
retailer through their contact form:
http://www.saturn.com/talk_to_us/contact_retailer/?retailerId=121748&sellingSource=22
My inquiry:
“Could you please tell me the name of the owner of the Saturn of
Sunnyvale dealership.
Thanks in advance.”
Laura replied promptly with the following information:
“Hi,
Saturn Retail Enterprises owns all of the San Jose area stores.
Sincerely,
Laura”
I then researched Saturn Retail Enterprises:
“Saturn is creating a new dealer group called Saturn Retail
Enterprises Inc. Joe Serra and his boss, Don Hudler plan to persuade
independent Saturn dealers to sell their stores to Saturn Retail
Enterprise in exchange for stock in the company. Although this sounds
drastic, the idea behind it is to pull together 40 to 100 dealer
groups in order to become a profitable, publicly traded company”
http://academic.emporia.edu/smithwil/00spmg456/eja/simpler.html
In 1999 Donald W. Hudler became chief executive officer of Saturn
Retail Enterprises which owns and operates Saturn retail facilities.
It is managed independently of Saturn and General Motors.
“Formally known as Saturn Retail Enterprises (SRE), the retail
operating company will have its headquarters in Charlotte, North
Carolina and will own and operate Saturn retail facilities. Saturn
will hold a minority interest in the new company, which will be
managed independently of Saturn and General Motors. (..) Saturn also
announces today that Donald W. Hudler, upon his January 1, 1999
retirement as Saturn chairman and president, will become SRE chief
executive officer. With Hudler's appointment, the retail operating
company will now move quickly to fill its remaining leadership and
operational structure.”

“Don Hudler will assume the position of chief executive officer of
Saturn's newly-formed retail operating company, Saturn Retail
Enterprises (SRE). As SRE chief executive officer, Hudler will lead a
strategic initiative designed to build and promote new levels of brand
equity, customer enthusiasm and leadership throughout all retail
operations.”

Bill Musgrave is the President of Saturn Retail Enterprises.
In a recent article dated December 30, 2002 “Saturn dismantles dealer
venture. Company puts stores back in hands of retailers” by Lindsay
Chappell of Automotive News:
“Five years ago, Saturn Retail Enterprises was preparing to become an
independent retail chain of 80 to 100 Saturn dealerships. But by
mid-2004, the venture no longer will exist.
Bill Musgrave, Saturn Retail Enterprises president, said that buyers
are emerging for most of the venture's remaining 30 stores, and the
factory is reviewing various sales.
"We are winding down," Musgrave said from the chain's Charlotte, N.C.,
offices. "The factory is in the process of divesting these stores. The
plan over the next couple of years is to put the stores back into the
hands of retailers. "My guess is that we will be out of it by the
middle of '04."”

I realize that you mentioned that “The Saturn Corporation is a wholly
owned subsidiary of General Motors Corp. and each individual Saturn
dealership is separately owned and operated by individuals.”
My answer may not be the answer you wanted to hear however this is the
information that I obtained directly from the Saturn of Sunnyvale
retailer. Saturn Retail Enterprises owns all of the San Jose area
stores which are: Saturn of Sunnyvale, Saturn of Stevens Creek and
Saturn of Capitol Expressway.
I hope you find this helpful. If anything I have written is not clear,
please make a request for clarification and I will do my best to meet
your needs.

Dear Bobbie7,
Thank you so much for all the effort you put into your answer!
In my original question, I asked for, "the name, business address, and
phone number of the owner of Saturn of Sunnyvale".
You have provided the owner's name, "Saturn Retail Enterprises, Inc.",
and I appreciate that. However, the business address of the owner,
was not provided.
I understand from your research, that it is located somewhere in
Charlotte, North Carolina.
(I did not ask for the business address of the Saturn of Sunnyvale
Dealership, as in my original question, it is apparent, I already have
that address.)
Can you provide the address of the owner?, as per my original
question?
Thanks again for your help!!
