For many, the word “Allentown” means little more than a Billy Joel song. But for many others, Allentown is a city in Pennsylvania with a history, a story to tell, and a whole lot of love for Honda cars.
Located in Lehigh County in Pennsylvania, Allentown is actually the state’s third most populated city behind Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Located on the Lehigh River, Allentown is the largest of three adjacent cities that make up a region of eastern Pennsylvania and western New Jersey known as the Lehigh Valley, with the cities of Bethlehem and Easton nearby. Allentown sits about 60 miles north of Philadelphia and 90 miles west of New York City.
With such a snug location, it’s no small wonder that Allentown cars would be big business. After all, it is the location of the corporate headquarters of several major companies, including Mack Trucks. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that Allentown residents love their Honda dealer and their other car dealerships. Allentown residents know how important it is to protect their industries, so Honda vehicles and other car companies provide the residents with a sense of pride.
The largest employer in Allentown is actually the Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health network, with almost 8,000 employees.
With such a broad spectrum of people and industries in Allentown, Honda dealer outlets know that the wonderful city is prime location for starting anew or keeping things fresh.
