Spark Dealer Group Launches New Website and Continues Strategic Outdoor Power Equipment Dealership Acquisitions
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hoboken, N.J., (Nov. 17, 2025) — Spark Dealer Group, a leading acquirer and operator of outdoor power equipment dealerships in the United States, announced the launch of its new website at sparkdealers.com. The platform gives dealership owners a clear view of the company’s acquisition approach, long-term strategy and commitment to protecting local legacies.
Permanent Capital Model Focused on Stability
Spark Dealer Group operates as a permanent capital company. The model differs from traditional buy-and-flip acquisition strategies and centers on long-term ownership and investment in dealerships and their employees. Owners receive all-cash transactions that remove uncertainty and shorten the sales process.
"We do not just acquire businesses, we strengthen them for the future," said Jon Salinas, CEO of Spark Dealer Group. "When owners choose Spark, they know their legacy will continue. Our all-cash structure gives sellers clarity from the start."
Preserving Legacy and Supporting Growth
Spark focuses on smooth ownership transitions that prioritize employee retention and career development. While many acquisition firms cut staff to improve short-term results, Spark maintains existing teams and invests in long-term growth across its network.
"The first time I talked to the Spark team it felt like family," said Lonnie Bohrer, former owner of Mowers Inc. in Sarasota, Florida. "My biggest concerns were my employees and my customers. Spark promised neither would be compromised. Eight months later, they kept their word and I could not be happier with the entire experience."
A Reliable Path for Owners Planning Their Next Chapter
Spark’s permanent capital model appeals to dealership owners preparing for retirement or navigating major life changes. The company’s focus on culture and employee stability has resonated across the industry.
Cody Armstrong, former owner of ATS Outdoors in Fort Worth, Texas, and now chief operating officer at Spark, shared his experience. "Their commitment to my employees stood out from day one. Spark made sure my team had job security and a path to grow. Their fairness and experience gave me real peace of mind."
Partnering With Leading Industry Brands
Spark Dealer Group works with established dealerships representing major manufacturers including Exmark, Scag, Gravely, Toro, Hustler, Wright, Stihl and Echo. The company focuses on proven brands and strong operators rather than building new locations from the ground up.
New Website Designed for Dealership Owners
The new website provides clear explanations of Spark’s acquisition process, employee stories and details on its permanent capital structure. It serves as a resource for owners exploring partnerships or evaluating exit strategies.
Industry Landscape and Opportunity
The outdoor power equipment industry is experiencing staffing shortages, increased demand for battery-powered equipment and pressure on sales performance. Recent data shows that 41 percent of dealers plan to increase investment in staff training in 2025, while 32 percent cite technician retention as a major challenge. Spark’s focus on long-term stability and employee development aligns with these priorities and provides an alternative to traditional acquisition models.
