the Car Business
Blazer star buys Toyota dealership
Portland Trail Blazers point
guard and NBA All-Star Damian
Lillard is now a business owner
to go with his accomplishments
on the court.
It was announced last week
that Lillard and his longtime
friend and business partner, Brian
Sanders, are now the co-owners
of a Toyota dealership in McMin-
nville. A ribbon ceremony was
held at the dealership Wednesday.
A Toyota representative said
Lillard has “infused his style into
the facility by overseeing the in-
stallation of custom Pop-A-Shot
games, themed pingpong tables,
autographed memorabilia, and
more.”
Customers who purchase a
vehicle from the dealership will
become members of the “Da-
mian Lillard VIP Club,” which
includes opportunities to meet
Lillard and attend Trail Blazers
games.
Additionally, at the ribbon-cut-
ting ceremony Wednesday, the
McMinnville mayor officially de-
clared Oct. 1 as “Damian Lillard
Day” in “recognition of Damian’s
long-standing, beloved presence
in Oregon,” stated the Toyota
representative.
