ABRA Adds Midwestern Shops to Network

Oct. 13, 2014

Oct. 13, 2014—ABRA Auto Body & Glass has expanded into two midwestern states.

The company opened its latest franchise in Fort Madison, Iowa, over the weekend, and acquired Corpo Collision Center in Schaumburg, Ill., ABRA’s second acquisition in the state in the past 14 days.

“It’s about meeting the demand of our customers and insurance partners in the community,” said Mark Wahlin, ABRA’s vice president of franchise development/relations. “Expanding operations in Iowa makes sense. Offering top-quality collision repair and glass service across the country is what ABRA is all about.”
