Porsche Atlanta North continues to operate under its existing name as part of Group 1's growing Atlanta-area network

ATLANTA, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its ongoing nationwide initiative to unify its extensive network of dealerships, Group 1 Automotive, Inc., a Houston-based automotive retailer with dealerships across the U.S. and U.K., announced that Porsche Atlanta North has joined its retail network, following the company's acquisition of Hennessy Automobile Companies' Atlanta-market dealerships, which closed Oct. 19, 2026. In keeping with Porsche's dealer naming standards, the dealership continues to operate under its existing name.

Porsche Atlanta North sits just off Mansell Road down from Land Rover North Atlanta, giving Group 1 two adjoining luxury franchises in the same North Fulton corridor.

Better Customer Experience

Porsche Atlanta North's name is unaffected by the sale, consistent with Porsche's dealer naming standards. The transaction is strictly a change in ownership. Staffing, inventory, and day-to-day operations continue as before.

The store becomes part of Group 1's broader Porsche franchise portfolio, which spans multiple U.S. markets, giving its team access to the same training and operational resources used at Group 1's other Porsche stores.

"For more than 20 years, our clients have come to know the people behind this location, and those same familiar faces will be here to welcome them," said Michael Caldwell, General Manager of Porsche Atlanta North. "Porsche owners have a real passion for the brand, and we share that same passion. As part of the Group 1 family, we look forward to the future."

Porsche Atlanta North continues to serve customers from its existing location at 990 Mansell Road, Roswell, GA 30076, supporting customers throughout the Mansell Road corridor in Roswell with new Porsche vehicles, pre-owned vehicles, certified service, parts, and maintenance support.

The dealership's team remains in place as the location becomes part of Group 1's broader retail network.

Why did Porsche Atlanta North join Group 1 Automotive?

Porsche Atlanta North joined Group 1 when the company acquired Hennessy Automobile Companies' Atlanta-market dealerships. Customers now have access to Group 1's national network while keeping the local team they know for new and pre-owned sales, financing, service, parts and collision support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Porsche Atlanta North the same dealership as Hennessy Porsche North Atlanta?

Yes. Hennessy Porsche North Atlanta is now Porsche Atlanta North, part of Group 1 Automotive. The dealership is at the same location on Mansell Road in Roswell, Georgia, and many of the same people clients have worked with for more than 20 years are still here.

Should I lease or finance a Porsche?

Leasing usually means lower monthly payments and a new Porsche every few years. Financing builds equity and has no mileage limits. Drivers who change cars often or drive fewer miles tend to lease, and those who keep their cars long-term tend to finance. The Porsche Atlanta North finance team can compare both options on any vehicle.

What's the difference between the Porsche Macan and the Porsche Cayenne?

The Macan is Porsche's compact SUV, and the Cayenne is the larger model, with more cargo space and more performance trims. The Cayenne comes in gas, plug-in hybrid and fully electric versions. The Porsche Atlanta North team can help clients compare both models from current inventory.

What does Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned include?

Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicles must pass a multi-point inspection by Porsche-trained technicians and comes with a Porsche-backed limited warranty and roadside assistance. Porsche Atlanta North can explain the coverage on each Porsche Approved vehicle in stock.
