SANFORD - Stung by rising gasoline prices and the struggling U.S. economy, the world's largest Chevrolet dealership network -- including Bill Heard Chevrolet of Sanford -- shut down suddenly Wednesday.

The stores' fates are unclear. It's possible they will either reopen under new management or General Motors could choose to run them until new owners are found.

About 2,700 employees will be affected by the closings at 13 dealerships nationwide, according to a brief statement from Georgia-based Bill Heard Enterprises. Its only other Florida store is in Plant City.

The statement blamed the shutdown on a litany of woes, including "rising fuel prices, a product portfolio of mostly heavy trucks and sport utility vehicles, economic recession, unfavorable local market conditions for vehicle sales, the crisis in the banking and financing sectors, and other factors."

These conditions "all combined to create a business environment in which the company simply did not have the resources needed to continue to operate," the statement said.
