The local JD dealerships got rolled into one dealer with maybe 12 stores. Was a group of 20 dealers that got rolled together over a 6 year period I think.
Lot of strong Green supporters still in the area, but no one is happy with the new dealership and the treatment of customers or the 'no alternative, so we will charge 150% labor now' types of attitude.
But, they are still strong Green supporters, so it continues on.
My understanding is Corporate JD is all for this business model, and encourages it.
The rEd people have their big dealership conglomerate that it trying to eat up all Red dealerships as well; my understanding is they are very shaky dollarwise, they closed several dealerships they had just built new around me. As in, a couple year old new buildings, new ground. That can't be 'efficient', but everyone hates that big dealership network and visits the somewhat old school Red dealerships left.
I'm sure Red corporate will squish them out soon, and like Green, we will be left with nothing but the mega dealerships that don't care but charge more because there is no competition.
Everyone makes fun of Orange or Blue machinery, but those are still the older style, caring folk as I see it. For now. Around here.
So, corporate Green wants to make money off the financing. It is easy to skim off some income from a finance situation. The dealer network is left in place, because of liability and expenses there, but JD will push for this change so they get a bigger cut of the finances.
