The Wells County Chamber of Commerce staff and Ambassadors recognized Ollie Legg and his staff at Mike Anderson Chevrolet of Ossian located at 604 S. Jefferson Street as the August Member of the Month. Mike Anderson Chevrolet purchased the dealership 18 years ago from Bob Bate Chevrolet.
Mike Anderson started his dealership in Logansport in 1980 and is still activity involved with the business at 11 different stores. Legg said that Anderson looks specifically for small communities because they enjoy the personal relationships with local people. “We also feel it is important to support our local businesses and do business locally.”
Legg stated that because Mike Anderson came from a small town; therefore, he understands the dynamics that take place by being involved in the community. “It is important for us to support different causes and organizations and sponsor local teams,” Legg said.
The longevity of staff at Mike Anderson is extensive. Three employees who worked for Bob Bate Chevrolet continued with the dealership upon the transition to Mike Anderson Chevrolet. “Julie Werling, sales staff; Dean Meyers, Service Technician; and Tony Mills, Service Manager all stayed with the business,” said Legg. “I am proud of the staff we have and we all go the extra mile for the customer to make sure they are taken care of.”
Legg has worked with Mike Anderson dealerships since 1997, first starting in Gas City, before transitioning to Ossian in 2003. Legg then became one of the owners in Ossian in 2012. “Our inventory has increased over the years and we have a great group of employees who work here,” explained Legg. “We love it here in Wells County!”
