Nominate Someone Who Needs Love Now

Gresham Ford has made a reputation from being a family owned and operated Oregon Ford Dealer driven by a commitment to the Gresham Area community. The pandemic has stretched and tested all of us. "We will survive and thrive again as a community, I am confident." declares, General Manager, Bess Wills. "Our family chose to put down roots in Gresham becuase of the overwhelming support and love that we encountered when we first came to the area over a decade ago. This community is strong and resilent. We want to help perpetuate the same feeling of community and support to others that we have enjoyed."

The History of the Dealer with a Heart

The slogan may not have started with Bess Wills but it spoke to her and the direction she wanted the dealership to take. Early in 2003, she and her family arrived in Gresham and fell in love with the staff and the community. "We are blessed with a staff that truly cares about their community. They each carry a servant's heart and are dedicated to our customers. It's easy to be a great dealership when you have such a fantastic staff that really enjoys what they do." said Bess during a recent interview with the Gresham Outlook and Community Newspaper.


Gresham Ford has continued to nuture and grow their reputation of being the Dealer with a Heart.

Shopping Local Matters.

Gresham Ford has been a strong supporter of shopping local for decades. Dare we say, before it was cool. In fact, Gresham Ford is the presenting sponsor of the Gresham Area Chamber of Commerce's Try Local First Campaign. Sharing the well documented benefits of shopping local has become somewhat of a passion for Bess and her family. Monthly events held by the Chamber spread the message and the love to local businesses.
