About 30 new employees will join Mountain View Nissan following the opening of its expanded dealership in Chattanooga, officials said today.

“We’ve added more space, more customer-friendly features and we will add approximately 30 more new employees to our team of 40 full-time employees,” said Don Thomas, dealer principal of Mountain View Nissan.

Austin Watson, executive manager, said the dealership has added four new salespeople and two technicians since the move to the $6 million facility at 2100 S. Market St. late last month.

“We’ll need more to support the business in both areas,” he said.

The new 30,000 square-foot facility is one block away from the dealership’s previous location that has become Mountain View Chevrolet. The Chevrolet dealership moved from Riverfront Parkway, where it was leasing space.
