General Motors finally heard us and reversed their decision to end this franchise. Doug and his staff will be keeping their doors open to serve our community just like we hoped. Thank you for helping me protect this local business.

A PETITION IN FAVOR OF REVERSING GENERAL MOTORS DECISION TO TERMINATE THE FRANCHISE RIGHTS OF DOUG RICHERT PONTIAC-CADILLAC OF TOPEKA, KANSAS We, the undersigned, loyal customers and supporters of DOUG RICHERT PONTIAC-CADILLAC, 1900 S. Topeka Boulevard, Topeka, KS 66612 are in favor of the following: General Motors should reverse its decision to terminate the franchise rights of DOUG RICHERT PONTIAC-CADILLAC! We believe the Doug Richert dealership is now, and has been since its inception in 2001, an integral part of this community! We believe that Doug Richert and his entire staff have conducted their business affairs in a manner that should make General Motors proud to have DOUG RICHERT PONTIAC-CADILLAC as a franchisee. While we understand that the Pontiac brand has been discontinued, we firmly believe that Topeka, the capital city of Kansas, should continue to have a Cadillac dealership to provide sales, parts, and service to the many loyal Cadillac customers that have purchased vehicles in this community from the Doug Richert dealership during the past eight years. I have personally signed this petition. I am a customer, or supporter, of DOUG RICHERT PONTIAC-CADILLAC, Topeka, Kansas and my residence address is correctly written after my name.

Seeing 250 names on this list proves that I am not the only one who values the service at Doug Richert. This dealership has been a staple for my family for nearly a decade and it feels good to see our community come together like this.

I have been spending my mornings calling regional offices to remind them that this dealership is the heartbeat of our Topeka community. Seeing your personal notes about the service you received here reminds me why I started this fight in the first place.

This is bad for the community. Richert runs a quality shop.

Ridiculous. Where are we supposed to go for service now? GM just wants to kill small town dealers.

TOPEKA NEEDS A CADILLAC DEALER. Stop closing down businesses that actually care about their customers.

Doug has always treated us right. GM is making a huge mistake leaving Topeka without a local dealer. Keep it open!

Been going to Richert for years for parts and service. Nobody wants to drive to KC for everything. Fix this GM.
