Lincoln exceeded its dealership expansion plan by opening 33 Lincoln Stores, eight more than planned. Sales performance of these first stores has been strong and three of Lincoln’s top 10 dealerships globally in terms of sales in 2015 are located in China.

“We are very encouraged by the consumer response to Lincoln in China,” said Robert Parker, president of Lincoln China. “Our sales growth and rapid network development are proof that consumers are looking for a new way to shop for luxury products and they are finding it with Lincoln’s one-size-fits-one approach.”
