About
Spark Dealer Group acquires and operates outdoor power equipment dealerships across the United States. Our goal is simple: give dealership owners a clear, respectful path to transition ownership, while continuing to invest in the people and businesses behind it.
We are a permanent capital company. We are not here to buy and resell dealerships. We build for the long term, with a focus on employees, customers, and manufacturer relationships.
When owners choose Spark, their business stays local, their team stays in place, and the legacy they built continues. We purchase with all cash, removing uncertainty and delays from the process. Whether you’re planning for retirement, succession, or a major life change, we focus on clarity and peace of mind.
Our Approach to Dealer Data
We want to be fully transparent about how Spark operates. Spark does not have automatic or standing access to dealer financial, operational, or customer data, ever.
Any information reviewed during a potential transaction is provided directly by the dealer, as part of standard due diligence. There are no shared systems, no pooled databases, and no access beyond what an owner chooses to share.
We do not sell, reuse, or combine dealer data for any purpose.
Trust matters in this industry. We take that responsibility seriously.
Why Spark?
- All-cash transactions that simplify the sale process
- Commitment to people, with no layoffs to chase short-term gains
- Long-term ownership focused on steady growth
- Strong partnerships with leading brands including Hustler, Scag, Toro, Exmark, Wright, Walker, Stihl, Echo, and others
- A collaborative group of dealerships that share practical experience and best practices
We don’t just acquire dealerships. We commit to them for the long run.
