Shortly after the announcement that Stanley Subaru would receive the Ellsworth Area Chamber of Commerce’s Top Drawer Award for connection with their community, Subaru of New England named Stanley Subaru 2020's Love Promise Retailer of the Year.
“I was surprised and delighted,” said owner Mark Politte. “Having a positive impact in our community is part of our mission statement.” The Love Promise Retailer of the Year is given out to only one of the sixty-four Subaru dealerships in New England each year to recognize that dealer for exceptional dedication to Subaru’s culture of making the world a better place.
“We love Hancock County and are humbled and excited to receive this recognition for our efforts,” said Politte. “It is nice to know our passion for our community resonates with others. It’s a testament to the entire team at Stanley Subaru that we are able to do as much as we do, and we are deeply grateful to them.”
In 2020, Stanley Subaru managed to undertake over 30 Love Promise initiatives in the community including assisting at the Bar Harbor Food Pantry, adopting out animals from the SPCA of Hancock County, teacher appreciation efforts, October's Driven for a Cure to raise funds for mammography scholarships at Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital, and giving approximately 4,000 reusable masks out to the community at no cost.
