Wilkins Harley-Davidson Acquires Green Mountain Harley-Davidson
Vermont Business Magazine Started in Barre, Vermont in 1947, Wilkins Harley-Davidson has purchased the assets of Green Mountain Harley-Davidson in Essex Junction, Vermont expanding its operation into Chittenden County and beyond.
Owners Barbara Wilkins, Ann Lyon, and John Lyon represent three generations of family operated business. The dealership has grown several times over the years but this is a major step for the family.
“We are proud of what we have accomplished over the 72 years but if are to continue growing, a giant step like this is needed. We have explored other opportunities in the past but they were not quite the right fit. Debby and David Pearson have established a solid foundation at Green Mountain Harley-Davidson. We hope to build upon what they have accomplished adding elements that have made us so successful in Central Vermont. This transition has been a smooth one largely because Debby and David have been incredibly gracious and helpful. We are grateful for the opportunity to pick up where they left off.” John Lyon, Co-Owner and General Manger, Wilkins Harley-Davidson
