Joeten Motors Co. opened Friday a new 8,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art showroom along Beach Road for car brands Ford and Honda. This is its third showroom out of the three car brands that Joeten Motors carries; the others are Kia and Nissan.<\/p>\n

Norman T. Tenorio, managing director of Joeten Enterprises Inc., which owns Joeten Motors Co., credits his late parents for building a business that keeps evolving with the times.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that our father and mother, Joeten and Daday, would have been so proud to see how far the company has come today,\u201d said Tenorio in his speech at Friday\u2019s event. \u201c\u2026My dad always said, \u2018You have to change with the times in order to survive as a business.\u2019 It is in that spirit that our company will continue to evolve and play and integral role in the development of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

He describes Joeten Motors as a multi-dealership company that sells several car brands and models for every client and for every budget. He said Joeten Motors has been selling Ford and Honda brands for over 40 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese brands represent the very best and most reliable cars in the world today, from award-winning cars and SUV\u2019s like the Honda CRV [and] Accord, to America\u2019s bestselling mid-size SUV\u2019s like the Ford Explorer and the No. 1 selling Ford vehicle in America, the Ford-150,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

According to Matthew Deets, Joeten Motors Co. general manager, the exterior of the new showroom meets Ford and Honda requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe finished product represents Ford and Honda\u2019s unique brand identities. At the north side of the building, we highlighted the new Honda generation three-cylinder design, which rises over 30 feet and is meant to represent an engine cylinder. At the south side of the building the \u2018One Ford\u2019 exterior message is evident with the tower that shows the Ford icon,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The showroom hopes to set a new standard for the islands, learning from the damage that typhoons Soudelor and Yutu wrought. Deets said the building is made not only to be beautiful but resilient and energy-sufficient.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe building is a fully concrete structure with safety glass and reinforced framing that have already been tested by [Super] Typhoon Yutu as it came through unscathed. Our net metering, solar, water catchment makes this building 100-percent energy efficient,\u201d he added;<\/p>\n

When sought for comments, Saipan Chamber of Commerce president Velma Palacios welcomes this new development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opening of this showroom, despite the hardships after Super Typhoon Yutu, [is] a testament to the determination and perseverance of the Joeten family and the staff of all their establishments,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoeten family founder Jose C. Tenorio was instrumental in the formation of the Saipan Chamber [of Commerce], and we thank him and the rest of the Joeten family for all their contributions to the business community and the islands. Congratulations, Joeten Enterprises, on 70 years of hard work invested in the CNMI,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Saipan Mayor David M. Apatang, who was also present at the showroom\u2019s groundbreaking ceremony many months ago, said he is happy to finally see the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a tremendous accomplishment for Joeten Motors. The opening of this showroom carrying more car brands is a sign of a good economic improvement for the community because people are buying cars now and Joeten is filling up that need. Congratulations to the Joeten family,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
