OSWEGO — Burritt Motors recently received the Greater Oswego-Fulton Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year Award.
“We’re honored to have received this award,” Chris Burritt, co-owner of the auto dealership, said in a news release. “My son and co-owner Rich and I salute the hard work, innovative spirit, and tremendous support of our Burritt Motors team that made this award possible.”
Burritt Motors (www.burrittmotors.com) dates back to 1955 in Hannibal when Chris Burritt’s grandfather, Elmer O. Burritt, acquired a Chevrolet franchise that he operated until 1963. To expand in a larger market, Chris’ father, Richard, purchased the assets of a Chevrolet dealership that had been located on Oswego’s East Third Street. About a year later, he built the present dealership on Route 104, which underwent a $2.5 million expansion and renovation last year, according to the news release. The dealership celebrates its 59th anniversary this year.
