participated in one of the events already . Bruno says the dealership will get involved in others as well . “ I don ’ t think we ’ re going to host so much here ,” he says , explaining that employees work Monday through Saturday , 9 a . m . to 7 p . m . “ I don ’ t want to ask them for too much .”
But that doesn ’ t mean that the dealership doesn ’ t basically host an event every Saturday during its open hours . “ I have my staff giving out mimosas , we have music playing , we always have some sort of breakfast , either it ’ s donuts or croquetas . It ’ s a fun environment . Every Saturday we have the same clientele that comes here , and they hang out while also purchasing products from us , so it ’ s fun .”
17 YEARS WITH BROWARD Bruno has had fun at Broward Motorsports for 17 years and has worked at most of the dealer group ’ s locations . He shares that many of his friends had ATVs when he was a teenager so after getting fired from a restaurant , he decided to buy a fourwheeler from Broward Motorsports when he was 16 and worked at the dealership to pay it off . His coworkers called him a hustler . “ I love working , I ’ m always working ,” Bruno says .
He started at the dealership when there was only one location and he swept the shop and worked in the service department . “ It was fun . There were a lot of young guys that were salespeople , and in 2006 / 2007 it was booming .”
Like Bruno , CEO of Broward Motorsports Sam Nehme has also been in the industry since he was 16 years old and opened the dealership in 2002 . He has brought in partners over the years and has overseen many mergers and acquisitions . “ We only have six locations , but that is comprised of probably 15 mergers ,” Bruno says . And he shares that Broward Motorsports dealerships are located in Florida , “ For now .”
