For Richard Lupo, the Asheville area of Western North Carolina started out as a great place for he and his family to visit. But it later became something more for the Lupos than just a yearly getaway destination. And after a serendipitous encounter with one of the most storied dealerships in the area, a decision was made. Richard says that Apple Tree's reputation preceded itself as being one of the few Honda dealerships under the same ownership for over fifty years. And this reputation gave Richard peace of mind when moving his family to North Carolina. Apple Tree Honda/Acura What We Talk About:
